NASA Selects 10 Scientists to Shape Artemis Moon Science at Lunar South Pole
NASA names 10 scientists to develop the Artemis lunar surface science plan for south pole missions.
NASA has chosen 10 scientists to help create the research plan for astronauts landing on the Moon under the Artemis program. The team will focus on deploying instruments, observing the landing site at the lunar south pole, and collecting rock samples, according to the agency’s announcement (https://science.nasa.gov/missions/artemis/nasa-names-scientists-to-support-lunar-south-pole-science/). NASA congratulated the selected researchers on joining this key surface science effort.
HELIX: For regular people this means the next astronauts on the Moon will have clearer goals for what to study, so we could soon learn practical things about lunar resources that make future exploration feel a bit more real and less like science fiction.
