- Large printable version of AS17-M-1702.
- Balandin and its cluster of rather unusual neighbours is also captured near the left margin of Apollo 17's orbital ITEK-panoramic frame AS17-P-2370. Research: Danny Caes
- The right half of Apollo 15's orbital ITEK-panoramic frame AS15-P-8913 shows a close up of Balandin. Research: Danny Caes

Description
Balandin lies north-easterly on the not-so-leveled floor of [/Gagarin Gagarin] -- a 265 km diameter-wide crater that formed during the [/stratigraphy pre-Nectarian] period (4.6 to 3.92 bn years). The crater looks, to all intents and purposes, like a capital 'D' that has tipped over on its side. Is this D-like appearance the result of ejecta from another impact event nearby in the region covering over the northern portion of the rim, or, is Balandin the result of an oblique impact? Landfill material seems to have poured in from the odd-looking connecting feature just north-west of Balandin (perhaps, the result of two coalesced craters), and this has covered in over any peaks or clumps of rocks that may originally existed inside the crater. Only a few small craters lie within the 'hummocky-looking' floor of Balandin -- the largest being about 1 and 1/2 metres across, however, there also is a hint of a buried rille that seems to extend into the odd-looking feature already mentioned in the north-west? - JohnMoore2 JohnMoore2

Nomenclature
- Named for Aleksey Aleksandrovich Balandin (December 20, 1898 - May 22, 1967), a Soviet chemist. His primary contribution lies in the field of organic catalysis. He is the author of Multiplet Theory of Catalysis (1929).
- This is among 120 names appearing on [/LTO LTO] charts that were approved by the [/IAU IAU] in [/IAU%20Transactions%20XVIB 1976].
