The images released by NASA show Mons Latreille, a lunar mountain located in the center of the Sea of Crisis, where on March 2, the spacecraft Blue Ghost from Firefly Aerospace landed. Additionally, it features the Mons Mouton plateau in the southern polar region of the Moon, where on March 6, “Athena”, owned by Intuitive Machines, will touch down.
