Lunar Science Technical Committee Responsibilities

The Lunar Science Technical Committee serves to compile and summarize existing knowledge of the Moon and to identify lunar research projects that would directly further the long term goals of the Artemis Project. The specific areas of responsibility for this committee are:

1. To provide accurate technical information and sources of additional information concerning conditions on the lunar surface as a resource for other technical committees. The committee has overall responsibility for Appendix M of the Artemis Data Book, and will delegate parts of Appendix M as appropriate to other organizational elements.

2. Identify candidate experiments that are directly necessary to further the long term goals of the Artemis mission or have entertainment value or can bring in external funding/political support.

3. Answer specific questions from other organizational elements relevant to lunar science.
