caption

Maksutov is an 88.962 km crater formed during the Upper Imbrian[1] period on the near side in the Southern hemisphere. It is located in in the Oppenheimer (LAC-120) and LQ-29 quads. It's named for Dmitrij Dmitrievich Maksutov, Soviet optician (1896-1964). It is cataloged in the Morphological Catalogue of the Craters of the Moon as SAI 383.


Position


All of the above positions are in Mean Earth/Polar Axis coordinates.
