Summary: Outstanding Lunar Science Questions and
Opportunities Created by the ESA
Lunar Lander Programme
Ian Crawford
(1) The bombardment history of the
inner solar system is uniquely
revealed on the Moon
(2) The structure and composition
of the lunar interior provide
fundamental information on the
evolution of a differentiated
planetary body
(3) Key planetary processes are
manifested in the diversity of lunar
crustal rocks
(4) The lunar poles provide special
environments that may bear witness
to the volatile flux over the latter
part of solar system history
