Payload Site One Upon landing, the LOW prepares for single-site goals and multi-site goals. A drop-box is prepared for single-site goals utilizing various instruments measuring the following parameters: –Lighting conditions –Micrometeorite flux –Electrostatic dust levitation conditions The LOW’s stereo imaging systems’ mast will permanently raise itself to its functional position.

Payload Multi-Site At each site starting at site one, scientific equipment will perform multi-site goals utilizing various instruments performing the following operations: –Regolith sample collection –Geotechnical properties –Regolith composition –Geological characterization –Magnetic susceptibility –Surface temperatures –Alpha particle and gamma ray emissions –Image acquisition

Payload Final Site At the final site (Shackelton Crater), the SRV will be ready to launch. An arm will load the SRV with regolith samples collected during the course of the mission.
