Chaffee Lunar Landmarks:  Apollo Crater is located on the far side of the moon and is more than 800 km (500 miles) across.  Six craters in the crater area are named after astronauts; Apollo 8: Jim Lovell, Frank Borman and Bill Anders (the first humans to reach the moon) and Apollo 1, Ed White, Gus Grissom and Roger Chaffee.  Chaffee Crater was dedicated in 1970.  The crater is 49 km (30 miles) across and located at 38.8ºS, 153.9ºW. Apollo Crater is of significant interest in moon research because it offers an opportunity to examine the stratigraphy of the lunar crust.  On the basin floor and surrounding areas of the crater a number of rocks appear to be ejecta and underlying material from depths as great as 30 km (18 miles) deep inside the moon.
