What might NASA's Artemis III astronauts encounter at the lunar south pole?

Join a livestream by the Lunar & Planetary Institute (LPI), belonging to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), Thursday, June 8, 2023, at 7:30 p.m. CT (8:30pm ET) for a presentation by Dr. David Kring, Principal Scientist at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas, via the LPI YouTube channel: https://lnkd.in/gddKsruv

Artemis III astronauts will land on a fascinatingly cold and rugged terrain in the lunar south polar region. Far different than terrains traversed by Apollo astronauts, the south polar terrain presents new and exciting scientific opportunities to learn more about the Moon. Dr. Kring will discuss this unique environment and what astronauts may encounter during traverses of this unexplored region.
