Doppler is a lunar impact crater that is located at the southern edge of the Korolev basin, on the far side of the Moon. To the east is the Das and Galois crater formation. Further to the southwest of Doppler is the Mohorovik crater.
The rim of Doppler has a somewhat polygonal form, and a smaller crater is joined with the inner side of the northeast wall. The interior of Doppler is rough and irregular, with some terracing of the worn outer walls, and a complex of central hills to the north of the mid-point. The crater 'Doppler B' lies within the northern rim, and occupies a portion of the northern floor. A small, crater-formed valley runs to the southeast across the floor of Doppler from the rim of 'Doppler B'.
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 Doppler
crater.
