Geology of Shackleton Crater and the south pole of the
[1] Using new SMART-1 AMIE images and Arecibo and Goldstone high resolution radar images of the Moon, we investigate the geological relations of the south pole, including the 20 km-diameter crater Shackleton. The south pole is located inside the topographic rim of the South PoleAitken (SPA) basin, t...
