Lunar site selection is an iterative process that evolves as we learn about vehicle capabilities, objectives, and architecture use cases and functions. Selecting sites for lunar operations requires identifying locations that would enable stakeholders to address one or more of NASA’s Moon to Mars Objectives: in essence, “where we want to go,” balanced with locations where safe lunar landings can be conducted, or “where we can go.”
The Artemis missions will land astronauts on the lunar surface to leverage the unmatched capabilities of human explorers. These landings will commence long-term exploration and utilization of the Moon by NASA, industry, and international partners for the benefit of all.
This document provides a common reference set of existing lunar surface data, products, analytical assumptions, and representative use cases to be incorporated into Artemis surface mission planning efforts. This document pertains solely to the surface of the Moon and the ecosystem of data and products to be used to describe the lunar surface.
