Reinhold is a prominent lunar impact crater that lies to the south-southwest of Copernicus crater, on the Mare Insularum. To the southeast is the slightly smaller Lansberg crater.
The interior walls are terraced and the irregular outer ramparts are visible against the flat surface of the mare. The interior floor is relatively featureless, with only a few low rises. Just to the northeast is a low, flooded crater designated 'Reinhold B'.
[edit] 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 Reinhold crater.
