NASA's Artemis III mission targets the lunar south pole, focusing on nine updated landing sites chosen for science potential, safety, and communication capabilities.
The locations were selected by a multidisciplinary team using Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter data and extensive lunar research, ensuring the best scientific opportunities for astronauts.
Artemis III aims to be historic, as it would be the first human landing in the Moon's south pole region, a site of rising international interest.
Compared to previous explorations, the south pole is significant for potential resources, highlighted by successful probes from China and India in the same region.
