Daedalus (Crater)Daedalus is a prominent crater located near the center of the far side of the Moon. The inner wall is terraced, and there is a cluster of central peaks on the relatively flat floor. Because of its location (shielded from radio emissions from the Earth), it has been proposed as the site of a future giant radio telescope, which would be scooped out of the crater itself, much like the Arecibo radio telescope, but on a vastly larger scale. The crater is pictured in famous photographs taken by the Apollo 11 astronauts. In contemporary sources it was called "Crater 308" (this was a temporary IAU designation that preceded the establishment of far-side lunar nomenclature).
Satellite craters By convention these features are identified on Lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Daedalus crater. | idth="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Latitude | width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Longitude | width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Diameter | | lign="center"|B | align="center"|4.1° S | align="center"|179.8° W | align="center"|23 km | | lign="center"|C | align="center"|4.1° S | align="center"|178.9° W | align="center"|68 km | | lign="center"|G | align="center"|6.6° S | align="center"|177.4° W | align="center"|33 km | | lign="center"|K | align="center"|8.3° S | align="center"|178.5° W | align="center"|24 km | | lign="center"|M | align="center"|8.1° S | align="center"|179.5° E | align="center"|13 km | | lign="center"|R | align="center"|7.7° S | align="center"|175.2° E | align="center"|41 km | | lign="center"|S | align="center"|6.8° S | align="center"|172.9° E | align="center"|20 km | | lign="center"|U | align="center"|4.2° S | align="center"|174.9° E | align="center"|30 km | | lign="center"|W | align="center"|3.5° S | align="center"|177.5° E | align="center"|70 km | External link
