11 landing sites ellipses [1] and 2 ellipses in the crater Boguslawsky [2] (15 x 30 km) have been selected for the Russian Moon mission Luna-Glob (Luna-25) in an area between 65-85◦S, 0-60◦E at the south pole of the Moon and need to be prioritized. A major goal of Luna-Glob is a compositional analysis of the regolith, which may contain ice. Challenges will be the testing of the soft landing techniques and the long-term operation of the lander in the lunar polar region. A geological characterization took place for prime landing sites (ellipses-1, 4, 6 and ellipses Boguslawsky-1, 2) [3] and [2], respectively. We report on the characterization of the potential lower priority landing sites 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12. Our analysis makes use of data returned from instruments onboard of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter: LROC (WAC and NAC), LOLA, LEND and Diviner. Based on these data we produce a priority list of the potential landing sites. Our analysis indicates that landing ellipses 2, 3, 8, 10 should be primary targets for a landing.
