Kovalevskaya is a prominent lunar impact crater that is located on the far side of the Moon.

This crater overlies nearly half of the large Kovalevskaya Q along the southwest rim.

The outer rim of Kovalevskaya is generally well-formed and not significantly eroded.

At the midpoint of the interior floor is a pair of central peaks that are split down the middle by a valley running north–south.

[1] By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Kovalevskaya.
