1 Appendix SCIENCE CONCEPT 1 No appendix material for Science Concept 1. SCIENCE CONCEPT 2 Table A2.1 Pertaining to Science Goal 2a, lists all of the craters and basins which may contain in calculated uplifted peaks/rings. Where d m is the maximum depth of melting, P m is the proximity of melt to the upper crust boundary, and P e is the proximity of excavation to the upper crust boundary. Peaks/Rings Calc means those craters or basins identified to contain material in melt and central uplifts from calculations only. Preserved p/r identifies the peaks and rings which are well preserved as shown through verification with LROC Quickmap. The red color indicates those craters/basins which potentially contain material in ejecta.

Where d m is the maximum depth of melting, P m is the proximity of melt to the crustmantle boundary, and P e is the proximity of excavation to the crustmantle boundary. Uplifted Rings Calc means those craters or basins identified to contain mantle material in melt and central uplifts from calculations only. Preserved ring identifies the uplifted rings which are well preserved as shown through verification with LROC Quickmap. The red color indicates the two basins which potentially contain mantle material in ejecta, note that SPA basin also may excavate mantle.

13 c d e a f b a c b c a d b e f g h a a a a b b The purpose of using mare flow intersections was to select locations where multiple mare basalts of a variety of ages could be sampled from one landing site. The ranking was done based on the number of flows which intersected at one place (e.g. sites where 2 flows intersected was given a score of 4, 3 flows a score of 3, 4 flows a score of 2 etc). The ages of the flows were then scored such that if the age range of all of the flows was >2.0 Ga the point was given score of 3, if the ages were between 1.5 to 2.0 Ga the point was given a score of 4, between 1.0 to 1.5 Ga a score of 5 etc etc The scores were combined and then ranked with points sampling younger flows given higher priority than older flows. Notice that there are multiples of some ranks e.g. 52a and 52b this is because the two sites scored exactly the same scores and could not be separated by relative age. 619

Superscript notes are as follows: (a) Ages are based on Wilhelms (1987); (b) Basin diameters are from Spudis (1993); (c) Transient cavity diameter was calculated using Equation 5 from Kring (1995); (d) Regolith thickness was calculated using McGetchin et al.

Note that for this Table, the requirement R2 was considered achieved only when sites were sampling H1 and H2 types, which are the high priority targets. Requirements: R1: sample the planetary differentiation products; R2: sample the variety of highland types; R3: sample the 3 main geochemical terranes (FHT, PKT, SPAT); R4: determine the origin and extent of the KREEP layer.

49 Table A3.13 List of all suggested landing sites that fulfill at least two of the Science Concept 3 Science Goals. The fourth column indicates how many of the Science Goals they address, followed by a description of how they each address it. Sites were selected as possible locations to address Science Goal 3a if they are within one of the 5 highland types (H1 to H5), or within the primordial highland material, or have PAN detections, or contain or mantle material (cf. Comments 3C for the detail of what can exactly be sampled and where), or are good sites to assess the extent of the urkreep layer. Specific sites were selected to address Science Goal 3b if they contain pyroclastic deposits or cryptomare, but Science Goal 3b could actually be assessed almost everywhere on the Moon. Sites were selected for Science Goal 3c if they have central peaks or peak rings and contain (lcm) or mantle (mm) in their central peaks/rings, or (lce) or mantle (me) in their ejecta. If the proximity value is between 0 and 5 km, there is an uncertainty on the possible excavation of lower/crust or mantle, and the comment will precise mm in EB, where EB means error bar. Sites were selected for Science Goal 3d if they correspond to any gravity anomalies, massif, plateau, identified plutonic feature, red spot or young features. Sites were selected for Science Goal 3e if they are young and deep enough to show the transition from to upper crust in their central peaks or walls.

81 Figure A9.1 Crustal thickness profile of SPA (b), averaged over the northeast and southwest quarters of the basin (a). Solid line indicates topography; dashed line indicates moho depth. The Moho depth model used in this study [Wieczorek et al., 2006] attempts to account for suspected vertical compositional stratification in the lunar crust, by assuming a duallayered crust. The model calculates the depth of the interface between the crust and mantle (the Moho) from the global average height for the lunar crust. This value was then combined with topographic data obtained by Kaguya in order to obtain a map of crustal thickness. This data was projected using the USGS program ISIS (Version ), and then imported into ArcGIS (Version 9.3) for further analysis. Using this data, profiles were obtained of both the Moho depth and topography. These were taken at 5 intervals, from the approximate center of the basin (56 latitude; 180 longitude), to a distance of 1500 km. The resulting values were then exported to a spreadsheet, where they could first be combined into a single list of x (distance from the center of the basin in km) and y (elevation or Moho depth in km) values. These values were then sorted by x values, and averaged at 50 km intervals to generate a radially averaged profile generated (Fig. 8.18). In order to gain a better appreciation of the variation in crustal thickness at different points around the basin a second set of averaged profiles were generated for specific regions of the basin. The largest variations in topography and crustal thickness are observed in the north east quadrant of the basin which includes the large (538 km) multiring impact basin Apollo, and borders the farside highlands where the highest topographic values on the Moon can be found. The south west quadrant of the basin, by comparison, has less exaggerated variations in topography and crustal thickness on average. For this reason, these two areas were chosen to produce complimentary radially averaged profiles of the basin (Figure 70). The topography and Moho depth values were processed in the same way as is described above, however this time including only the values for the quadrant in question. 687
