Searching for In-Situ Resources on the Moon
As lunar exploration is ramping up, resources present on the Moon are valuable and the distribution of these resources will directly affect future human surface operations. Water ice and other volatiles will be a key factor in surface operations so small rover prospecting missions to identify these resources are essential. In order for such focused rover missions to be successful, a well-developed concept of operations (ConOps) is required. Developing these ConOps through analogue missions as well as testing rover and instrument capabilities through lunar simulations will ensure these prospecting missions are prepared for efficient surface operations and can achieve their science objectives within limited timeframes.
