The lunar surface is an ideal location to answer fundamental planetary science questions. In the 50 years since humans last visited the Moon, new advances arising from robotic lunar missions, reanalysis of older data, modeling, and sample analysis have produced dramatic results and new questions about planetary volcanism, volatiles, impact processes, tectonics, and the lunar environment. Driven by new questions, we set out a robust science plan for the Artemis III crew return to the lunar surface.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report also lays out seven science objectives:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Understanding planetary processes<\/li>\n<li>Understanding the character and origin of lunar polar volatiles<\/li>\n<li>Interpreting the impact history of the Earth-Moon system<\/li>\n<li>Revealing the record of the ancient sun and our astronomical environment<\/li>\n<li>Observing the universe and the local space environment from a unique location<\/li>\n<li>Conducting experimental science in the lunar environment<\/li>\n<li>Investigating and mitigating exploration risks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The full report spans 188 pages, and NASA is holding a media call with reporters at 1 p.m. ET today to discuss the details:<\/p>\n<p>\t<span class=\"outbrain-ad-label\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<script type=\"text\/plain\">\n\t\t\twindow.adSlotsConfig = window.adSlotsConfig || [];<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tadSlotsConfig.push( {\n\t\t\t\tslotID: '\/1049447\/Outbrain',\n\t\t\t\tslotName: 'div-gpt-ad-outbrain-ad-7897',\n\t\t\t\tsizes: [300, 250],\n\t\t\t\tslotPosition: 'mid_article'\n\t\t\t} );\n\t\t<\/script><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"post-youtube-video-1\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tXv25qJ4qf4?version=3&amp;rel=0&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en-US&amp;autohide=2&amp;wmode=transparent&amp;enablejsapi=1\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tXv25qJ4qf4?version=3&amp;rel=0&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en-US&amp;autohide=2&amp;wmode=transparent&amp;enablejsapi=1\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-more\">More<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Watch NASA\u2019s mobile launcher rollout to Launch Pad 39B ahead of first Artemis lunar mission<\/li>\n<li>SLS for Christmas: NASA sets date for Green Run Hot Fire test at Stennis Space Center<\/li>\n<li>NASA is GO for Space Launch System Wet Dress Rehearsal at Stennis Space Center<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"enjoy-reading-space-explored\">Enjoy reading Space Explored?<\/h3>\n<p><ins data-ad-format=\"auto\" class=\"adsbygoogle adsbygoogle-noablate\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5506057612223327\" data-adsbygoogle-status=\"done\" style=\"display: block; margin: auto; background-color: transparent; height: 280px;\"><\/ins><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Astronauts are going back to the Moon for the first time since the end of NASA\u2019s Apollo program in 1972.
