Voskresenskiy K (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Voskresenskiy

Named after Leonid A. Voskresenskiy - Soviet rocketry scientist (1913-1965).

Voskresenskiy is a lunar crater that is located near the western limb. Due to its position, this crater is viewed edge-on, limiting the amount of detail that can be viewed. The visibility of this formation is also affected by libration, so that at times this crater is hidden from sight, while at other times it can be more readily viewed. The crater is located to the southeast of the walled plains Röntgen and Lorentz. (wikipedia entry)
