Popis: Lunar geologic exploration of a crater's central peak to investigate subsurface layering is discussed. A rover-lander corporative mission to a crater's central peak is proposed. Subsurface materials of lower crust and/or mantle may be exposed on some central peaks. From a lander which is within 500 m from the frank of the central peak, a rover should make a round-trip to the frank and bring samples back to the lander. Multi-band camera, gamma-ray spectrometer, rock-coring mechanism, sampling and transportation mechanism should be on board the rover. Detailed analyses of the returned samples including microscopic spectroscopy and X-ray spectrometry and diffraction should be done in the lander.
