Morphologic Parameters for Successful Lunar Landing Sites
Abstract
The Moon, with its abundant resources, intriguing science questions, and vast unexplored surface area, is the most attainable and useful near-term target for future human exploration. In recognition of this fact, Presidential Space Policy Directive 1 (PSPD-1) has directed the United States to return to the Moon for “long-term exploration and utilization”, beginning with the 7th American human lunar landing by 2024 and building to sustainable surface presence by 2028.
