NASA selected the landing site for its water-seeking VIPER Moon rover.
The robot will land at the Moon’s South Pole just outside the western rim of Nobile Crater.
The location is ideal for scientific discovery.
It has suitable lighting and terrain,
Allows for two-way communications from Earth to the Moon,
And shows great potential for finding water and other resources.
The rover will explore the region for 100 days.
It will provide details about the origin and distribution of the Moon's water
and help determine how the Moon's resources can be harvested for future human space exploration.
The findings will inform future landing sites under NASA’s Artemis program.
