NASA has committed to sending humans to the Moon no earlier than 2025. The Artemis III mission will include scientific, technology demonstrations, commercial, inspirational, and explorational objectives. Achieving these goals will depend upon balancing priorities and mission constraints. A landing location needs to meet terrain conditions suitable for the lander with acceptable thermal and lighting conditions. This location must also allow access to geological areas of interest within traverse range and capability of walking astronauts. A representative EVA timeline is then developed for an example location on the de Gerlache-Shackleton ridge and used to examine the location’s acceptability as a candidate site for Artemis III. Similar studies are being conducted to NASA’s Science Mission Directorate and Flight Operations.
