Vasco da Gama is a lunar impact crater that is located near the western limb of the Moon.
It is named for the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama.
Attached to the southwestern rim of Vasco da Gama is the somewhat smaller crater Bohr.
The interior floor of satellite crater Vasco da Gama R contains a system of rilles designated the Rimae Vasco da Gama.
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Vasco da Gama.
