Armstrong (crater)
Oblique view of Armstrong crater from Apollo 10
Armstrong is a small lunar impact crater located in the
southern part of the Mare Tranquillitatis. It lies about 50
kilometers to the northeast of the Apollo 11 landing site.
Named after Neil Armstrong, the crater is the eastern-
most of the row of three craters named in honor of the
Apollo 11 crew members. To the north is the Ranger 8
impact site.
This crater was previously identified as Sabine E before
being renamed by the IAU. Sabine itself is located due
west of Armstrong.
Annotated oblique view from Apollo 16 showing the vicinity of
the Apollo 11 landing site (A11) with the craters Aldrin (Al),
Collins (C), Armstrong (Ar), and Moltke (M), facing north.
