The Artemis South Pole Station needs solid foundations. Grid 12 is a 200m × 200m section where the habitat modules will be placed. Drive Foundation Mapper in a precise 5-meter-spaced grid pattern, taking ground-penetrating radar readings at each intersection point. The data will determine if the regolith can support a 50-ton habitat module. This is critical infrastructure work , every reading matters.

A prototype solar panel array has been deployed on the peaks. Check in once daily (takes ~30 minutes) to photograph the panels, read the power output display, and use the Explorer's brush attachment to clean any dust accumulation. Track power output over time. This is a recurring job , do it for 7 days and get the full payout. Simple, reliable work.

The Peaks of Eternal Light will power all of Phase 2 and Phase 3 lunar operations. But 'near-constant sunlight' isn't the same as 'always sunlight' , brief shadow periods from nearby ridge features can cause critical power gaps. Earth-based solar engineers use Explorer survey data (terrain elevation maps, shadow tracking data, regolith stability readings) to design panel layouts that maximize power generation and minimize vulnerability to shadow events. You'll use solar simulation software to model panel angles, spacing, and wiring configurations. The robots install what you design , but if the design is wrong, the entire south pole operation loses power.

During the brief shadow periods when solar panels can't generate power, radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs) and radioisotope heater units (RHUs) keep critical systems alive. Earth-based engineers monitor these prototype power systems in real time, analyzing thermal output, electrical conversion efficiency, and degradation rates. You'll review telemetry data streaming from the deployed RTGs, compare against predicted performance models, and flag any anomalies that could indicate system degradation. This data informs the design of production RTGs for Phase 3 permanent infrastructure. Nuclear engineering or power systems background required.

The Peaks of Eternal Light are the most beautiful and unique location on the Moon. Due to the Moon's tiny 1.5° axial tilt, these south-pole mountain ridges receive sunlight ~90% of the time. Your Explorer drives along the illuminated ridgeline with stunning views in every direction , sunlit peaks stretching to the horizon on one side, and pitch-black permanently shadowed craters just kilometers away on the other. The contrast between eternal light and eternal darkness is surreal. Watch your shadow stretch across the regolith as the sun sits perpetually low on the horizon, painting everything gold.

Find inner peace at the edge of space. Your Explorer parks at a viewpoint on the Peaks of Eternal Light, facing Earth. A professional mindfulness instructor guides you through a 1-hour session via audio, incorporating the lunar landscape into the practice. 'Watch the Earth hanging in the void... feel the scale of the universe...' The near-constant golden sunlight creates a warm, meditative atmosphere. The camera slowly pans across the landscape as you breathe. Many customers report this as a life-changing experience. No driving required , just sit, watch, and breathe.

The most memorable proposal in the world , literally on another world. Your Explorer drives to a scenic viewpoint on the Peaks of Eternal Light with Earth hanging in the background. Use the Explorer's wheels to inscribe 'Will You Marry Me?' (or your message of choice) in the lunar regolith, then a satellite captures an overhead photo. Share the live camera feed with your partner as the message is revealed. The inscription will remain on the Moon's surface for millions of years , the most permanent love letter in history. Includes a framed satellite photo, a certificate with GPS coordinates, and the full video of the moment.

The mountain ridges near the south pole have natural slopes of 15-30 degrees , perfect ski terrain. Your Explorer is equipped with wide regolith skis designed to glide on the fine lunar dust. Push off from the top of a ridge and carve turns down the slope. In 1/6th gravity, you float between turns, catching air off every bump. The dust behaves like the lightest, driest powder snow imaginable , except there's no cold wind, no goggles needed, and Earth hangs in the sky above the slope. Three runs on different slope gradients: Bunny Hill (15°), Intermediate (22°), and Black Diamond (30°). Speed tracked on each run. The dust rooster tails behind you are spectacular on camera.

The Peaks of Eternal Light offer a dramatic backdrop for field events. The Explorer's manipulator arm performs regulation shot puts and hammer throws from a mountain ridgeline, launching projectiles against the permanently black sky with Earth as the backdrop. A shot put that travels 23 meters on Earth sails over 130 meters here. The hammer throw is even more spectacular , the Explorer spins with the hammer, building centrifugal force, then releases at the perfect angle. The hammer arcs across the sky for 30+ seconds before landing hundreds of meters downslope. 6 attempts at each event. The slow-motion footage of the throws against the stars is mesmerizing.
