Dr. Barbara Cohen (2000), planetary scientist with NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, was named project scientist for Artemis IV, which features a second crewed landing near the Moon’s South Pole, as well as the first Gateway assembly mission with the addition of a new element to the lunar space station. Cohen was the principal investigator of NASA’s Lunar Flashlight mission, an orbiter aiming to map ice in the permanently shadowed regions of the Moon's South Pole, and the Peregrine Ion-Trap Mass Spectrometer (PITMS), an instrument aboard Astrobotic's Peregrine Mission 1, one of the first lunar surface delivery contracts awarded through NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services initiative.
