Rumker地区（北纬41-45度，西经49-69度）位于月球的北方Oceanus Procellarum。Rumker山是该地区最具特色的地质特征。该地区的特点是长期的月球火山活动（晚英武纪至埃拉托塞尼亚时期），形成多个地质单元的地区，包括非常低的钛低钛月海玄武岩，高钛月海玄武岩和火山杂岩。每个地质单元具有不同的元素组成和矿物组合。位于Procellarum KREEP地形上的Rumker地区被选为中国嫦娥五号月球采样返回使命的着陆区。本文报告了对地质背景和科学潜力的登陆前分析。我们利用图像、光谱和测高数据进行了详细的地质测绘。确定了14个地质单元，绘制了地质图，并概述了地质历史。月海西部单元（Im 1、Im 2和Im 3）的年龄为英布利期（3.4-3.5Ga），代表月海喷发火山作用的主要阶段。东部年轻母马单位（Em 3和Em 4;
The Rumker region (41-45 degrees N, 49-69 degrees W) is located in northern Oceanus Procellarum of the Moon. Mons Rumker is the most distinctive geological feature in the area. The region is characterized by prolonged lunar volcanism (Late Imbrian Period to Eratosthenian Period), forming multiple geologic units in the area, including very low-Ti to low-Ti mare basalts, high-Ti mare basalts, and volcanic complexes. Each geologic unit has distinct element composition and mineral assemblages. The Rumker region, overlying the Procellarum KREEP Terrain, was selected as the landing region for China's Chang'E-5 lunar sample return mission. Prelanding analyses of the geologic context and scientific potential are reported in this contribution. We conducted detailed geological mapping using image, spectral, and altimetry data. Fourteen geological units were defined, a geologic map was constructed, and the geologic history was outlined. The western mare units (Im1, Im2, and Im3) are Imbrian-aged (similar to 3.4-3.5Ga) representing the major stage of lunar mare eruptive volcanism. The eastern young mare units (Em3 and Em4;
