Description


Description: Wikipedia

Tsiolkovskiy

Additional Information

  • Central peak composition: A, GNTA1, GNTA2, AT (Tompkins & Pieters, 1999)
  • Exterior impact melt deposits most extensive to SE, max of ~50 km beyond rim. Most extensive ejecta, rays and secondary craters to the SSE, with max wall slumping on SE side of crater, and topographically lowest rim crest to W (Hawke and Head, 1977).
  • Tsiolkovsky was formed by an oblique impact Craddock and Greely, 1988 with the projectile coming from the NNW; the presence of previous Fermi crater determined a lower west rim
  • Crater counting gives age of 3.51 billion years for mare on crater floor (Tyrie, A. (1988) Earth, Moon & Planets 42, #3, 245-264.
  • On the moon's globe, Tsiolkovskiy is almost the exact antipode of Aristarchus. Strange as it is, nearside crater Aristarchus has the most high-albedo inner slopes and floor of all the pronounced craters on the moon's surface, while farside crater Tsiolkovskij has the most low-albedo floor of all (or so it seems). Research Danny Caes.
  • TSI = 35, CPI = 20, FI = 25; MI =80 Smith and Hartnell, 1973
  • Tsiolkovsky was a Constellation Program Region of Interest.
  • Measurements of crater topography using Kaguya laser altimeter terrain profile graphs.- LunarJim Jul 21, 2011
    • Note: West rim is much lower than East rim. Summit of central peak is high point on a T-shaped ridge.
    • Crater depth: Measurements on 4 axes separated by 45 degrees.
    • Zero reference level = Moon average radius.
    • Average floor level (average of lowest levels on 4 axes) = -1831m
    • Average rim height (average of 8 rim data points) = +2970m
    • Average crater depth (average rim height to average floor level) = 4.80km
    • Deepest point on crater floor(from zero reference level) = -1877m
    • Max. crater depth (highest point on rim to deepest point on crater floor) = 5.91km
      Central Peak Height(above average floor level) = 2.76km


Nomenclature

  • Named for Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky (September 17, 1857 – September 19, 1935), an Imperial Russian and Soviet rocket scientist, physicist and pioneer of astronautic theory. Image (possibly a drawing) below is of Tsiolkovskiy.

  • Discovered in Lunik 3 imaging of farside and named in Atlas of the Far Side of the Moon; approved by the IAU in 1961 (Whitaker, p 232).
