Economic Geography: chemical, mineralogical, and topographic resources
Unfinished Robotic "Prospecting"
- Elements mapped at medium resolution to date: iron, thorium, hydrogen, calcium
- Need to map all major elements at higher resolution
Unfinished Robotic "Exploration"
- High resolution topographic contour map from which to identify contiguous areas of easy transit and most logical corridors linking them
- Prerequisite for a global map of potential highway and railway corridors
- Prerequisite for delisting interesting sites to that are access challenged
- Orbital mapping of subsurface voids
- Local and irregular voids; possible gas pockets
- Meandering linear voids: lavatubes
Surface ground truth probes
- Verify, quantify, qualify. and assess expected polar ice deposits in various crater permashade areas around both poles
- Explore suspected openings into lavatubes
- Final exploration of sites on the short list for an outpost installation
- Crater central peak sampling
Typography Assets
