How Artemis Can Accomplish Major Lunar Exploration Scientific Goals and Objectives: A Sampling Strategy and the “Artemis Rake”
Head, James W.; Schmitt, Harrison H.; Scott, D. R.; Duke, Charlie, 1935-; Borg, Lars E.; Fassett, Caleb; Jolliff, B. L. (Brad L.); Neal, Clive R.; Pieters, Carlé M.; Shearer, Charles K.
For the Artemis-targeted unique lunar South-Circumpolar Region, we outline its Moon-wide context and major scientific problems and assess the optimal sampling strategy for initial and early Artemis human exploration missions to obtain a representative sample of the igneous (differentiation/petrogenesis) and metamorphic (impact-modified) history and cratering chronology of this unique lunar region.
