About
Amy Jagge is a lunar scientist whose work focuses on the strategic planning of future polar exploration. Her key research area lies in identifying and characterizing sunlit pathways on the Moon, particularly connecting sites of high scientific interest near the south pole. Her most-cited paper, "Sunlit pathways between south pole sites of interest for lunar exploration" (2022), has garnered 12 citations, establishing her as a thoughtful contributor to mission architecture. In this work, she maps the challenging terrain where near-constant sunlight meets permanent shadow, offering practical routes for rovers and astronauts to access critical resources like water ice while maintaining power and communication. This contribution is vital for upcoming Artemis missions, as it directly informs traverse planning and site selection. Jagge’s research bridges orbital remote sensing with surface operations, providing a foundation for sustainable human presence on the Moon. Her work is a key resource for students and engineers alike, demonstrating how careful cartography can unlock the secrets of the lunar frontier.
