Artemʹev is a
lunarimpact crater that is located on the
far side of the
Moon. The rim of this crater has been modified by subsequent impacts in the vicinity, with an inward bulge along the southwest edge and a worn impact lying across the north rim. The satellite crater Artemʹev G is partly overlain by the southeast rim of Artemʹev. The crater interior is relatively flat, and marked only by tiny craterlets.
The crater
Tsander lies to the southwest of Artemʹev. Further to the southeast is the huge walled basin
Hertzprung.
Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Artemʹev.
