The Artemis missions will include a mix of crewed and robotic landings. Thirteen regions near the South Pole of the Moon have been identified as candidates for human exploration. In this presentation, we will examine key potential target sites on the Moon, discuss what makes them so compelling, and demonstrate how members of the public can conduct their own explorations of these amazing lunar locations using NASA’s Moon Trek data visualization and analysis portal.
