LUNAR SURFACE SCIENCE WORKSHOP

 

Virtual Sessions

 

Planetary Protection/PSR Classification

September 30, 2020

and

Science Enabled by Mobility

October 28, 2020

Through this series of short, focused workshops, we continue to solicit input from the community on the potential for new scientific research that could be enabled by human exploration near the lunar south pole. In addition, we want to identify and help to close knowledge gaps associated with crew activities and safety.

 

The next two sessions of the Lunar Surface Science Workshop (LSSW) will focus on Planetary Protection/Permanently Shadowed Region (PSR) Classification and Science Enabled by Mobility. Both days will be a mix of invited/contributed talks and discussion breakouts.

Virtual Session 5:  October 28, 2020

Call for Abstracts

 

Because these sessions of the LSSW are outside the scope of the original workshop, abstracts are being solicited for both sessions.
