Chaffee is a lunar impact crater that is located in the southern hemisphere on the far side of the Moon.
This is a circular crater with an outer rim that has an uneven form due to multiple small outward bulges.
The inner walls of Chaffee do not have a well-formed terrace system, and they slope downward to debris piles that extend part way across the floor.
The crater was named in 1970 by the IAU after astronaut Roger Chaffee,[1] killed in the Apollo 1 fire.
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Chaffee.
