Preparing for Artemis III EVA Science Operations

Abstract

We need to quickly draw upon those scientists in the nation who have extensive experience with both lunar sample analyses and field studies in impact-cratered terrains to develop surface science plans. With that expertise: 1. Evaluate the landing site; 2. Integrate program elements; 3. Train crew for surface ops; 4. Train scientists for mission operations; 5. Conduct mission simulations; 6. Training in impact-cratered terrains; 7. Training among highland analogue terrains.
