Research in support of the Canadian Lunar Rover Mission — This work will employ a combination of remote sensing data analysis, sample analysis, and simulations of impact crater formation to improve our understanding of the geological context and history of the first Canadian rover landing site region and broader south polar area of the Moon. In addition, analogue field activities and the analysis of samples (Apollo samples, lunar meteorites, regolith simulants) using the first Canadian rover instruments and traditional lab facilities will also better prepare the team for the first Canadian rover operations.
