Episode 4 of NASA Explorers Season 5 delves into "The Southern Polar Region

When Artemis astronauts touch down on the lunar surface, they will embark on an unprecedented journey to uncharted territories. Specifically, their focus will be the South Pole region of the Moon, a domain housing distinctive features such as the largest lunar crater, regions basking in perpetual illumination but also shrouded in profound darkness, and record-breaking cold temperatures within our solar system. The exploration of this polar expanse promises to unveil not only the Moon's historical narrative but also the broader story of our solar system's evolution. This region harbors frozen water reserves, an essential resource for sustainable lunar habitation and enabling extended voyages across the cosmos. In the noble quest for exploration, Artemis astronauts will act as emissaries for humanity, retrieving lunar samples that will be examined by countless future generations of scientists, thus unraveling profound insights into the mysteries of our cosmic heritage.
