Alekhin E (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Alekhin

Named after Nikolaj Pavlovich Alekhin - Soviet rocket designer, engineer (1913-1964).

Alekhin is a lunar crater on the southern hemisphere on the far side. It lies to the north of the crater Zeeman, and south-southeast of Fizeau. To the west lies Crommelin, and east-southeast is Doerfel. The rim has been heavily eroded by subsequent impacts to the point where the edge is little more than a curving rise in the surface.
