The percentage of time that the surface will be illuminated and visible to the Earth is modeled for the expected Artemis timeframe (July 9, 2024 - June 11, 2025) at 500 m/pixel. Ideal conditions for surface activities (<10° slope and >45% sunlight (SUN) and Earth (E) line-of-sight) are indicated by light yellow. Areas indicative of potential water ice on the surface are shown in light pink. Published on 13 Jun 2023 Prev 1 2 3 4 5 … 93 Next ← Previous Next → Displaying Post 1 - 10 of 924 in total
