X-WR-CALDESC:Join the NASA Night Sky Network on Tuesday\, September 19 at 6
 :00 PM Pacific Time (9:00 PM Eastern) along with Dr. Erwan Mazarico from N
 ASA Goddard Space Flight Center will bring us up to date about NASA’s plan
 s to explore the lunar south pole region.\n\nThe lunar south polar region 
 is the target of the Artemis program. It is very different from the equato
 rial regions explored by Apollo\, particularly due to the lighting and the
 rmal conditions. Both permanently shadowed regions and areas of high solar
  illumination can co-exist in close proximity\, presenting challenges and 
 opportunities for robotic and human exploration. Hear from Dr. Mazarico ab
 out how the lighting conditions contribute to NASA's plans\, and how we pl
 an to explore the lunar south pole region.\n\nAbout Dr. Erwan Mazarico\nDr
 . Erwan Mazarico has been a civil servant research scientist at NASA Godda
 rd Space Flight Center since 2014. He joined the planetary geodesy group a
 t GSFC in 2008 after his PhD\, first working with the LOLA laser altimeter
  onboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Dr. Mazarico has worked on the 
 orbit reconstruction of LRO and the analysis of the LOLA altimetric datase
 t to produce accurate global and regional topographic maps\, studying the 
 illumination conditions of the lunar poles which has become of particular 
 interest for human exploration with Artemis. He has been a science team me
 mber of the MESSENGER mission to Mercury\, the GRAIL lunar gravity mapping
  mission\, and the Dawn mission to Ceres\, now also leading the Gravity/Ra
 dio Science investigation of the NASA Europa Clipper mission and the Gravi
 ty Investigation of the VERITAS mission to Venus.\n\nThe event will be str
 eaming live on YouTube\, but please note that questions asked over the NSN
 -members-only Zoom Q&A will be prioritized.
