Implementation Plan for a NASA Integrated Lunar Science Strategy in the Artemis Era
This Implementation Plan provides a snapshot of NASA’s plans to implement the strategy recommended in OWL and to address the M2M objectives relevant to lunar science. The word “integrated” in the title refers to integrating the capabilities and new opportunities afforded by Artemis and CLPS alongside more traditional mechanisms such as The Discovery and New Frontiers Programs and various Research and Analysis (R&A) elements to achieve our lunar science objectives. It is an opportunity to present the full scope of tools currently available to NASA and how they map to high-priority lunar science that can be accomplished on and at the Moon. It is also an opportunity to build a plan for future NASA-led, lunar focused science and exploration activities that is flexible and can be adapted to a changing landscape (i.e., capability growth, priority evolution, and budgetary fluctuation).
