Nomenclature

Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier; French aeronaut (1756-1785).
  • According to Whitaker (p. 236), this replacement name for a formerly lettered crater was introduced in NASA RP-1097. It was approved by the IAU in 1991 (IAU Transactions XXIA).
  • Before this crater was officially known as Pilatre, there might have been a slight possibility that it would have received the name Gant by John Westfall and the ALPO. Gant was the original new name of Hugh Percy Wilkins for Archimedes A (nowadays officially known as Bancroft). Note: for the list of Wilkins's new names, see Appendix R in Ewen A. Whitaker's book Mapping and Naming the Moon. See also: Luna Incognita (the Gant/ Pilatre case). - DannyCaes DannyCaes Oct 9, 2014
  • Erroneously printed as Piltre (without "a") on page 76 (libration chart 5) in the 21st Century Atlas of the Moon (2012).- DannyCaes DannyCaes Jan 23, 2013
