NASA has identified 13 regions on the Moon where its astronauts will land on the next Artemis mission. About reported on the official website of the department.
All points are located in the South Pole of the Moon. Each of these regions contains a variety of geological features that will allow you to explore as much of the Earth’s moon as possible.
“Some of the selected sites are among the oldest parts of the Moon and, together with permanently shadowed regions, offer an opportunity to learn about the history of the Moon through previously unexplored material,” said Sarah Noble, head of lunar science at Artemis. NASA’s Planetary Science Division.
To select the regions, a team of agency scientists and engineers evaluated the area near the Moon’s South Pole using data from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and past lunar expeditions.
In addition to taking into account the availability of the launch window, the team evaluated the sites for their ability to provide a safe landing, using criteria such as the slope of the terrain, ease of communication with Earth, and lighting conditions.
