| Name | Copernicus 17a |
| Lat. | 10.2403 |
| Long. | 339.6013 |
| Desc. | Linear pit in a linear series of rounded depressions. N wall appears to be a slope to the S end, where there is a deeper drop-off along SW wall (Copernicus 17b). There is a deep vertical-walled linear depression running parallel ~260m E, and a deep non-pit depression in the same series of shallow depressions ~270m S. |
