Lunar Science for Landed Missions Workshop Findings Report
Where should we explore next on the Moon? This report summarizes potential future landing sites on the surface of the Moon, as presented at the Lunar Science for Landed Missions Workshop in January 2018 at NASA Ames. Recordings of workshop presentations can be viewed here.

Artemis III Science Definition Team Report
In September 2020 a Science Definition Team (SDT) was assembled by the Planetary Science Division of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate to provide compelling and executable science objectives for the Artemis III mission, the first human mission to the surface of the Moon in the 21st century. To allow for input from the community and to ensure that the most up-to-date science was included, white papers were solicited in an open call to the community; 124 papers were received and reviewed by the Team. This document reports the findings and recommendations of the SDT.
