The lunar southern hemisphere's far side Husband Crater honors Space Shuttle Columbia Commander Richard "Rick" Douglas Husband (July 12, 1957-Feb. 1, 2003), who perished during his second spaceflight, along with his six colleagues, as the shuttle orbiter re-entered Earth's atmosphere on Saturday, Feb. 1, 2003.
Husband Crater nestles in the southeastern interior of Apollo Crater with six craters honoring the Space Shuttle Columbia's last crew. Also known as Apollo Basin, the extensive impact crater forms a basin-within-a-basin with its location in the vast South Pole-Aitken (SPA) Basin. Apollo Crater lies in the SPA Basin's northeastern quadrant, according to Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center's mineralogy and petrology specialist, Canadian-American geologist Donald Allen Morrison (July 19, 1936-Jan. 16, 2021), and then Lunar and Planetary Institute postdoctoral researcher, American physicist and planetary geologist D. Benjamin J. Bussey, in their paper, "The Apollo and Korolev basins and the stratigraphy of the lunar crust," presented at the 28th Lunar and Planetary Sciences Conference (LPSC 1997), held in Houston, Texas, March 17-21, 1997.
Apollo Crater is centered at minus 35.69 degrees south latitude, minus 151.48 degrees west longitude, according to the International Astronomical Union’s (IAU) Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature. The southern hemisphere crater's northernmost and southernmost latitudes stretch from minus 28.12 degrees south to minus 44.19 degrees south, respectively. The worn geologic structure's easternmost and westernmost longitudes reach minus 140.58 degrees west and minus 162.07 degrees west, respectively. Apollo Crater's diameter spans 524.23 kilometers.
Commander Rick Husband's lunar crater is centered at minus 40.32 degrees south latitude, minus 147.84 degrees west longitude. It records northernmost and southernmost latitudes of minus 39.85 degrees south and minus 40.78 degrees south, respectively. The crater registers its easternmost and westernmost longitudes at minus 147.17 degrees west and minus 148.51 degrees west, respectively. Husband Crater's diameter measures 31.26 kilometers.
Borman Crater resides as the closest named crater in Husband Crater's neighborhood. The sharp-edged impact crater honors Frank Frederick Borman II (born March 14, 1928). The career Air Force officer (1950-1970) was a veteran of two NASA spaceflights. He served as Command Pilot of Gemini VII (Dec. 4, 1965-Dec. 18, 1965) and as Commander of Apollo 8 (Dec. 21–Dec. 27, 1968).
Borman Crater appears as predominantly level-floored in its northern half and as noticeably rough-floored in its southern half. It is centered at minus 39.06 degrees south latitude, minus 148.25 degrees west longitude. Borman logs northernmost and southernmost latitudes of mnus 38.26 degrees south and minus 39.87 degrees south, respectively. It sets its easternmost and westernmost longitudes at minus 147.23 degrees west and minus 149.28 degrees west, respectively. Borman Crater's diameter spans 50.72 kilometers.
M. Anderson and Ramon craters qualify as Husband Crater's closest Columbia neighbors. Husband Crater is positioned to the northeast of M. Anderson Crater and to the north of Ramon Crater.

M. Anderson and Ramon craters qualify as Husband Crater's closest Columbia neighbors. Husband Crater is positioned to the northeast of M. Anderson Crater and to the north of Ramon Crater.
M. Anderson Crater honors Michael Phillip Anderson (Dec. 25, 1959-Feb. 1, 2003). The United States Air Force officer and NASA astronaut served as Payload Commander and Mission Specialist 3 for his second spaceflight.
M. Anderson Crater is centered at minus 41.21 degrees south latitude, minus 148.99 degrees west longitude. It achieves northernmost and southernmost latitudes at minus 40.93 degrees south and minus 41.49 degrees south, respectively. It expresses its easternmost and westernmost longitudes at minus 148.62 degrees west and minus 149.36 degrees west, respectively. M. Anderson Crater has a diameter of 16.94 kilometers.
Ramon Crater honors Ilan Ramon (born Ilan Wolferman; June 20, 1954-Feb 1, 2003). The Israeli Air Force (IAF) fighter pilot and first Israeli astronaut served as Space Shuttle Columbia's Payload Specialist for his first and only spaceflight.
Ramon Crater is centered at minus 41.23 degrees south latitude, minus 148.08 degrees west longitude. Ramon Crater establishes its northernmost and southernmost latitudes at minus 40.97 degrees south and minus 41.49 degrees south, respectively. It posts easternmost and westernmost longitudes of minus 147.71 degrees west and minus 148.45 degrees west, respectively. Ramon Crater has a diameter of 17.23 kilometers.
McCool Crater fans to the southeast of Husband Crater. Fairly straight center-to-center alignments to the east of M. Anderson and Ramon craters qualify McCool Crater as the most easterly of the lunar far side's seven Columbia craters.
McCool Crater honors American naval officer and aviator, test pilot, aeronautical engineer and NASA astronaut William Cameron McCool (born William Cameron Graham; Sep. 23, 1961-Feb. 1, 2003). McCool's position as the STS-107 mission's Pilot marked his first and only spaceflight.
McCool Crater is centered at minus 41.28 degrees south latitude, minus 146.26 degrees west longitude. Its northernmost and southernmost latitudes exist at minus 40.94 degrees south and minus 41.62 degrees south latitude, respectively. The easternmost of Columbia-honorific lunar craters marks its easternmost and westernmost longitudes at minus 145.81 degrees west and minus 146.71 degrees west, respectively. McCool Crater has a diameter of 20.47 kilometers.
D. Brown Crater dips to the southeast of Husband Crater. It closely neighbors with Ramon Crater to the northwest and McCool Crater to the northeast.
D. Brown Crater honors David McDowell Brown (April 16, 1956-Feb. 1, 2003). The United States Navy captain and NASA astronaut served as Mission Specialist 1 on Space Shuttle Columbia's 28th and final mission, which also qualified as Brown's first and last spaceflight.
D. Brown Crater is centered at minus 41.65 degrees south latitude, minus 147.16 degrees west longitude. Its northernmost and southernmost latitudes are affirmed at minus 41.38 degrees south and minus 41.91 degrees south, respectively. Its easternmost and westernmost longitudes are mapped at minus 146.80 degrees west and minus 147.52 degrees west, respectively. D. Brown Crater has a diameter of 16.12 kilometers.
Chawla and L. Clark craters lie distantly southeast of Husband Crater. They form a fairly straight north-south alignment with D. Brown Crater. Chawla Crater approximately marks the trio's midpoint. L. Clark Crater's position as the trio's southern anchor qualifies as the southernmost among the lunar far side's Columbia craters.
Chawla Crater honors first Indian female astronaut and first Indian-American astronaut Kalpana "K.C." Chawla (March 17, 1962-Feb. 1, 2003). For her second spaceflight, the aerospace engineer, aerobatic pilot and NASA astronaut served as Mission Specialist 2 on Space Shuttle Columbia's last, fatal mission.
Chawla Crater is centered at minus 42.48 degrees south latitude, minus 147.49 degrees west longitude. Its northernmost and southernmost latitudes are confirmed at minus 42.24 degrees south and minus 42.71 degrees south, respectively. Its easternmost and westernmost longitudes range from minus 147.17 degrees west to minus 147.80 degrees west, respectively.
Chawla Crater has a diameter of 14.25 kilometers. Its compactness qualifies Chawla Crater as the smallest of the lunar far side's Columbia Craters.
L. Clark Crater honors Laurel Blair Salton Clark (March 10, 1961-Feb. 1, 2003). For her first and only spaceflight, the American Naval Flight Surgeon and NASA astronaut served as Mission Specialist 4 on Space Shuttle Columbia's fatal 28th mission.
L. Clark Crater is centered at minus 43.34 degrees south latitude, minus 147.70 degrees west longitude. Its northernmost and southernmost latitudes are demarcated at minus 43.08 degrees south and minus 43.59 degrees south, respectively. Its easternmost and westernmost longitudes are recognized at minus 147.35 degrees west and minus 148.04 degrees west, respectively. L. Clark Crater has a diameter of 15.30 kilometers.
The International Astronomical Union officially approved Husband Crater’s name in 2006, during the organization’s XXVIth (26th) General Assembly, held Monday, Aug. 14, to Friday, Aug. 25, in Prague, Czech Republic. The IAU's approval also encompassed the group of six nearby southern neighbors provisionally named for Rick Husband's STS-107 colleagues.
