The landing site for a NASA lunar rover mission has a new name. #NASA said the mesa-like mountain where its #VIPER rover will land in late 2024 is now called #MonsMouton after NASA mathematician and computer programmer Melba Roy Mouton. She worked at NASA from 1959 to 1973. Mons Mouton, about the size of Delaware, is believed to be significantly older than its surroundings and may harbor water ice deposits.
