<h3>Jeannette Wolak Luna, Ph.D.</h3><p><em><em>Chair and Associate Professor, Department of Earth Sciences, Tennessee Tech University</em></em></p><p>More than fifty years ago, the Apollo Program made history by landing the first human crew on the Moon. The Artemis Program, so named after the twin sister of Apollo, will parallel this achievement with a series of crewed and robotic missions over the next decade. In this talk, we explore the geologic, scientific, and tactical maps needed to support such an endeavor and how these products are used by mission control and astronauts for lunar surface navigation. We also review the enormous scientific potential of the Lunar South Pole, a terrain that hosts some of the oldest crustal rocks available in the Solar System.</p>
