NASA Explorers: The Moon's South Pole

NASA Explorers: The Moon's South Pole

Season 5, Episode 4: When Artemis astronauts land on the Moon, they will travel to sites never before visited by humans. Namely, they will explore the South Pole region, home to the Moon’s largest crater, areas of near-constant light and deep shadows, and some of the coldest temperatures in the solar system.

Exploring the South Pole will teach us more about the Moon’s history, as well as the history of our solar system. It is home to frozen water, which is crucial for living sustainably on the lunar surface and exploring deeper into the solar system.

Artemis astronauts will explore the Moon on behalf of all of us and bring back lunar rocks and soil for analyses by generations of scientists who will help us gain unimaginable insights into our cosmic history.
