IWLOP #103 - Reinhold & Lansberg
Mare Cognitum, the “Known Sea,” was named in 1964 to mark the successful flight of the Ranger 7 spacecraft, which sent back the first detailed television pictures of the lunar surface. Kuiper, located in central Cognitum, is an excellent example of a small, simple crater.
