Indujaa Ganesh has been evaluating landing sites for future missions on the Moon that could be months long.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - Indujaa Ganesh, a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Alaska Fairbanks has been helping NASA find landing sites for the Artemis missions meant to return astronauts to the Moon.
Ganesh and her colleagues accounted for factors such as natural light, proximity to water, ice, and the geological make up of the areas being considered. All of the sites are in or around the Moon’s south pole which experiences long periods of exposure to sunlight much like the poles on Earth. The increased sunlight would allow the astronauts more time and a safer environment to conduct their experiments.
