Explore space weathering processes, that result from the interaction of the solar wind and cosmic rays with the Moon’s surface
Analyse the magnetic anomalies on the lunar surface
Search for ices at the poles
Produce 3D maps of regions of particular scientific interest at high spatial resolution (5-10 m)
an impact probe on the lunar surface to test near-surface properties and test impact technology

Gee-Whizz, Gizmo Dudes, I sure hope those who already have Bases there (especially on the 'Dark-Side', HaHa

) don't take the Impact Probe dropping through their Roof as a sign of Hostility. Sure would not want to have a Space War get started for the sake of Science.
For the Peace among All Beings.
