The U.S. National Academies released its NASA-commissioned consensus report "Human Exploration Across the Moon": www.nationalacademies.org/projects/DEP... This describes science strategy as astronauts return to the lunar surface for the first time since Apollo.

nationalacademies.orgKey Non-Polar Destinations Across the Moon to Address Decadal-level Science Objectives with Human ExplorersHumanity is returning to the Moon. These new footsteps in the lunar dust will inspire generations of people across Earth and herald a new era of discovery that could help unravel some of the deepest mysteries of the Moon, Earth, and the Universe. At the request of NASA, Human Exploration Across the Moon identifies high-value science destinations for short-duration human missions beyond the lunar poles. This report charts a path toward broader exploration, presenting four non-polar destinations where human explorers could pursue distinct and complementary science objectives across a range of disciplines: Bhabha Crater, Mons Hadley, Orientale Basin, and Aristarchus Plateau.
