00:00:00,250 --> 00:00:05,939
NASA selected the landing site for its water-seeking VIPER Moon rover.

2
00:00:06,189 --> 00:00:11,995
The robot will land at the Moon’s South Pole just outside the western rim of Nobile Crater.

3
00:00:12,245 --> 00:00:16,883
The location is ideal for scientific discovery.

4
00:00:17,133 --> 00:00:22,639
It has suitable lighting and terrain,


5
00:00:22,896 --> 00:00:29,433
Allows for two-way communications from Earth to the Moon,

6
00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:34,818
And shows great potential for finding water and other resources.

7
00:00:35,066 --> 00:00:40,569
The rover will explore the region for 100 days.

8
00:00:40,823 --> 00:00:46,442
It will provide details about the origin and distribution of the Moon's water

9
00:00:46,696 --> 00:00:52,499
and help determine how the Moon's resources can be harvested for future human space exploration.

10
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:58,553
The findings will inform future landing sites under NASA’s Artemis program.
