Cover Story: The Chang’E-7 (CE-7) mission, targeting the lunar south pole, will deploy a mini flying probe to detect water ice within cold traps. Selecting suitable landing sites requires careful consideration of both engineering constraints and scientific goals. This study systematically identifies optimal landing and sampling sites using multi-source remote sensing data. Potential cold traps are prioritized based on neutron spectrometer and hyperspectral data, while feasible landing regions are screened according to slope and illumination conditions. The selection is further refined through high-resolution illumination simulations, small crater detection using optical imagery, and rocky terrain identification from SAR images. Finally, six optimal landing sites within 85°S are proposed, providing critical guidance for CE-7 and future lunar missions. View this paper
