Abstract

Exploration of the Aristarchus region of the Moon would address many exploration goals and numerous SKGs articulated in previous studies. The Aristarchus plateau is an ideal place to explore for fundamental science, in situ resource utilization, and possibly an eventual site for a human outpost. The Aristarchus plateau region should be among the first non-polar targets for CLPS robotic landers and rovers, sample return, and human exploration.
