Lunar Volatiles and Solar System Science
Parvathy Prem, Ákos Kereszturi, Ariel N. Deutsch +38
Understanding the origin and evolution of the lunar volatile system is not only compelling lunar science, but also fundamental Solar System science. This white paper (submitted to…
Next-Generation Geodesy at the Lunar South Pole: An Opportunity Enabled by the Artemis III Crew
Vishnu Viswanathan, Erwan Mazarico, Stephen Merkowitz +3
Lunar retro-reflector arrays (LRAs) consisting of corner-cube reflectors (CCRs) placed on the nearside of the Moon during the Apollo era have demonstrated their longevity, cost-eff…
Extending Science from Lunar Laser Ranging
Vishnu Viswanathan, Erwan Mazarico, Stephen Merkowitz +18
The Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) experiment has accumulated 50 years of range data of improving accuracy from ground stations to the laser retroreflector arrays (LRAs) on the lunar su…
The Science Case for a Titan Flagship-class Orbiter with Probes
Conor A. Nixon, James Abshire, Andrew Ashton +36
We outline a flagship-class mission concept focused on studying Titan as a global system, with particular emphasis on the polar regions. Investigating Titan from the unique standpo…
White Paper on the Case for Landed Mercury Science
Paul K. Byrne, David T. Blewett, Nancy L. Chabot +5
We advocate for establishing key scientific priorities for the future of Mercury exploration, including the development of specific science goals for a landed mission. We support t…
Meteoroid Bombardment of Lunar Poles
Petr Pokorny, Menelaos Sarantos, Diego Janches +1
While the floors of deep lunar craters are largely shielded from solar radiation and thus provide an ideal thermal environment for water ice accumulation, meteoroids on highly incl…
