New names have been approved and announced for some Martian craters.
Among the special ones you may recognize:
Soffen - For Dr. Gerry Soffen, founder of the NASA Academy program
Ada - After the Oklahoma (USA) town
Looking through the list, one was also specifically named for Freedom, OK. Is there a reason, or did someone just want to call it "Freedom" and found out we had a conveniently named town? Anyone know?
The rest of the new ones.
