De Graft (crater)

De Graft is a lunar impact crater that lies on the far side of the Moon. It is located to the south of the larger crater Chrétien, and northeast of Sarton.

This crater is relatively youthful, with a well-defined rim that has suffered only minor erosion. The interior walls are terraced and slope down to a relatively level interior floor. At the midpoint of the floor is a small central peak formation.

De Graft is named after the Ghanaian-Swiss physician and geneticist Lucas de Graft (1942-2003).
