A Permanently Shadowed Region (PSR) is an area, typically near the lunar poles, that never receives direct sunlight due to the Moon’s small axial tilt and local topography. These regions remain in constant darkness, resulting in extremely low temperatures, often below -200°C. The lack of sunlight prevents volatile substances, such as water ice, from sublimating, allowing them to accumulate over time. PSRs are of significant interest for space exploration and resource utilization, as they may contain water ice and other volatiles essential for future lunar missions. Understanding PSRs is crucial for planning sustainable human and robotic activities on the Moon.
