Lunar Science for Landed Missions Sites Visualized with NASA's Moon Trek PortalThe Lunar Science for Landed Missions Workshop, held in January 2018 at NASA Ames, asked the important question, “Where should we explore next on the Moon?” Representatives from NASA, other international space agencies, commercial exploration companies, and the international lunar science and exploration communities gathered to present and debate the scientific and exploration relevance of a range of potential future lunar landing sites. From this workshop, a list of representative high-value sites was reported. In this presentation, we will present the sites and summarize their individual merits as described in the workshop report. We will augment this with detailed visualizations of each of the sites through the capabilities of NASA’s Moon Trek (https://trek.nasa.gov/moon) data visualization and analysis portal with the goal of highlighting each site’s outstanding geomorphological features along with of the scientific and exploration contexts of each site.
