Artemis Science: Exploring the Moon’s South Pole | NASA Goddard

Artemis Science: Exploring the Moon’s South Pole | NASA Goddard

The Moon is our nearest celestial neighbor, orbiting Earth at less than a quarter of a million miles on average. Now, for the first time since 1972, NASA is preparing to send astronauts to the Moon with the Artemis missions. Artemis III will target landing sites near the lunar South Pole. There, ancient rocks, minerals, and trapped water ice will not only provide resources for human explorers, they may also contain clues to the formation and evolution of our planet and the solar system.
