Crater Description
The closest neighbors of the Kosberg crater are the Isaev Crater in the northwest; Grave Crater in the north; Balandin crater in the east-northeast; Raspletin crater in the southeast and Andronov crater in the southwest [2] . Selenographic coordinates of the center of the crater , diameter 14.6 km [3] , depth 2.4 km [4] .
Cosberg Crater has a circular shape, almost not destroyed. A shaft with a clearly defined edge and a smooth inner slope, in the northern part is marked by a small crater. The height of the shaft above the surrounding area reaches 560 m [4] . The bottom of the bowl is relatively flat, in the western part there are several parallel ridges.
