Abstract

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.
