NASA selects possible landing regions for next astronauts on moon [i]NASA has identified 13 regions located near the lunar south pole where astronauts may next land on the moon, possibly as soon as 2025. The space agency on Friday (Aug. 19) revealed the general areas that a team of scientists and engineers determined could meet the requirements for the planned Artemis III mission, including seeking out water ice in the permanently shadowed craters of the lunar south pole. Each of the regions contain multiple potential sites where SpaceX's Starship human landing system (HLS) — NASA's chosen lunar lander for the Artemis III mission — could safely touch down with the first humans to explore the lunar surface since the last Apollo mission more than 50 years ago.[/i]
