NASA study calls for Apollo site protection among lunar surface ops policies [i]With more than 20 missions aiming to land on the moon by 2026, a new NASA study has found that the protection and preservation of the historic Apollo landing sites remains a concern. The report, however, recommends that "extreme restraint" be taken in seeking protection for future human heritage sites on the lunar surface. NASA's Office of Technology, Policy and Strategy (OTPS) released its "Lunar Landing and Operations Policy Analysis" on Tuesday (Oct. 25) after examining some of the challenges with having numerous missions at the moon. At the direction of NASA's leadership, OTPS investigated the technical and policy considerations involved with selecting new lunar landing sites and what actions should be taken to protect lunar surface operations, as well as U.S. interests.[/i]
