Wikipedia
Chaffee is a lunar impact crater that is located in the southern hemisphere on the far side of the Moon. It lies within the huge walled plain Apollo, and is one of several craters in that formation named for astronauts and people associated with the Apollo program. This basin is a double-ringed formation, and the crater Chaffee is situated across the southwest part of the inner ring. The ridge from this ring extends northward from the northern rim of Chaffee.
This is a circular crater with an outer rim that has an uneven form due to multiple small outward bulges. The perimeter is only slightly worn, and retains a sharp rim that projects above the surroundings. Two notable craters are attached to the outer rim: Chaffee F to the west and Chaffee W along the northwest. Chaffee actually intrudes somewhat into the former crater, and the two share a common rim. There is also a tiny craterlet exactly on the rim to the south-southeast.
The inner walls of Chaffee do not have a well-formed terrace system, and they slope downward to debris piles that extend part way across the floor. Parts of the interior floor are relatively level and featureless. However, there are several small craters lying in the northern half, particularly to the northwest of the midpoint.

Usage examples of "chaffee".
Lieutenant Candlewood stood beside Chaffee on the lower tier, she saw.
The plan was simple Defiant, Chaffee, and Sagan would attempt to destroy the lunar fragments threatening the planet.
In the meantime, Chaffee and Sagan would demolish the smaller, but still potentially lethal, fragments.
Within moments, Chaffee and then Sagan had dropped from Defiant and into space.
For nearly six hours, the crews aboard Defiant, Chaffee, and Sagan had battled the debris field, winnowing the number of potentially deadly lunar fragments down one by one.
Twice, Chaffee and Sagan had been called in to assist Defiant when larger fragments had broken up under the ships assault.
Considering the damage Chaffee had sustained from its collision with one of the fragments, Sagan was obviously the better choice for this task.
While Sagan s extensive damages would require a week to ten days more to repair, Chaffee s plasma leak had quickly been patched.
Vaughn did not need to dwell on the fact that, once he took Chaffee down to the planets surface, he and the shuttle crew would be isolated from Defiant and from any assistance, should they require it.
The stars swam sideways past the windows as Chaffee circled above the potential breach in the clouds.
Prynn righted Chaffee for a moment, then maneuvered back the other way.
It could have been a current of air shearing into Chaffee, Vaughn supposed, but he suspected that they had been rammed again by a surge of the mysterious energy.
Prynn pulled Chaffee up, leveling it out, and only then did Vaughn realize that they had been shooting nose-first toward the ground.
Shortly after penetrating the clouds, Chaffee had passed the terminator and flown into the night, and the shuttle had now emerged once more into the dim daylight of the planet.
He waited for Chaffee to emerge from its difficult route, and as the seconds passed, the flight between the mountains seemed to take too long.
