It's a common misconception that the Moon has a 'dark' side.
). It can clean up the noise in the LRO data and reveal what's lurking in the shadows on the Moon.
The team deployed HORUS to image 44 permanently shadowed regions with a diameter of more than 40 meters in the Artemis exploration zone. These images were able to resolve meter-scale features – information that will aid in planning lunar exploration, the researchers said. "Visible routes into the permanently shadowed regions can now be designed, greatly reducing risks to Artemis astronauts and robotic explorers,"This is particularly valuable since the Artemis spacesuit will only provide a limited amount of time in the cold of the shadowed craters; current designs allow for just two hours. Being able to efficiently map which features to visit and which to avoid will maximize those hours.
"We detect an approximately 50-meter-wide crater and other surface features in a shadowed region that may alter the location where the Intuitive Machines' hopper touches down later this year,"If you're going to land on the Moon, it's best to know ahead of time what you're getting into.
