It can be supposed that frequent impacts of asteroids on Titan's surface have made explosive reaction on the methane seas and many kinds of carbon clusters have been produced and stored in the seas, where the low-temperature condition and UV-cut condition by dense nitrogen atmosphere restrict further reactions of the clusters. In order to investigate the production of carbon clusters by the impact reaction occurring when an asteroid collides with a satellite, a model experiment using a 2-stage light-gas gun is carried out. A small metal ball with 3 km/s is injected into a thin isopropyl-alcohol layer with a metal back plate in nitrogen gas. After the impact reaction, produced carbon soot is collected and analyzed, by which production of fullerenes is confirmed.
