| Description | The Lunar Environment Monitoring Station for Artemis (LEMS) is a compact, autonomous, and self-sustaining instrument suite that enables long-term, in situ monitoring of lunar seismicity from natural or artificial sources for multiple years on the surface of the Moon. LEMS will directly measure the geophysical indicators needed to address key questions about the internal structure of the Moon at local and global scales and the origin of its seismic activity. Additionally, LEMS will provide a long-term assessment of the seismic hazard to sustained human exploration of the Moon at the south polar region. LEMS is a demonstrator of low-cost, sustainable, long duration science operations at the Moon and a first step in creating a multi-station lunar geophysical network. |
