Ina is a very small impact crater on the front of the moon in Lacus Felicitatis north of Yangel crater .
The name goes back to an originally unofficial name on sheet 41C3 / S1 of the Topophotomap map series of NASA , which was taken over by the IAU in 1979.

The assumption was made that Ina could be the result of a gas explosion in the last 10 million years and therefore of interest in connection with the question of whether the moon is still geologically active.
