LSSW:Artemis IV Landing Site Workshop
Date: September 10, 2025
Time: 11 am ET - 5 pm ET
Co-Chairs: Barbara Cohen (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center); Jennifer Heldmann (NASA Ames Research Center); Sam Lawrence (NASA Johnson Space Center)
This Lunar Surface Science Workshop (LSSW) will focus on how to optimize the Artemis IV landing site to address the science objectives of the mission. Key science focus areas include South Pole-Aitken Basin’s unique geochronology, geochemistry, and geophysics as well as other high priority science objectives (e.g., volatiles, planetary evolution, regolith processes, Heliophysics, Biological and Physical Sciences).
Abstract submission now open!

Call for Abstracts:
Abstracts are due by August 22, 2025. Abstracts should focus on providing criteria that can be used for landing site evaluations to optimize the scientific return from the Artemis IV mission, NOT on the identification of specific landing sites. Abstracts that consider data analysis that is required to develop and/or assess figures of merit are also welcome.
Call for Volunteers:
If you are interested in volunteering to facilitate breakout sessions, take notes during a discussion session for use by NASA and for generating a workshop report, and/or contributing directly to the report document, please contact barbara.a.cohen@nasa.gov and/or jennifer.heldmann@nasa.gov by August 1, 2025.
