Mitra is a Lunar Crater that is attached to the western outer rim of the larger Mach Crater , on the Far Side of the Moon . Just to the west of Mitra is Bredikhin Crater , and to the south-southeast lies Henyey Crater .

This is a heavily eroded formation with an outer rim that has been damaged by subsequent impacts. Attached to the exterior along the southeast is the satellite crater 'Mitra J'. A number of smaller impacts lie along the rim edge, and very little of the original rim remains intact. Within the interior, a smaller crater occupies the southwestern part of the floor, and a small, cup-shaped crater lies across the northeast rim of this formation and very close to the mid-point of Mitra. The remaining floor is marked only by a few small and tiny craterlets.


SATELLITE CRATERS

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Mitra crater.
