Mitra A (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Mitra

Named after Sisir Kumar Mitra - Indian physicist (1890-1963).

Mitra is a lunar crater that is attached to the western outer rim of the larger crater Mach, on the far side. Just to the west is Bredikhin, and to the south-southeast lies Henyey. This is a heavily eroded formation with an outer rim that has been damaged by subsequent impacts. Attached to the exterior along the southeast is the satellite crater Mitra J. (wikipedia entry)
