Artemis Sample Return

The Artemis Sample Return is a planned mission by NASA to collect rock, soil, and ice samples from the Moon's surface, specifically from the lunar South Pole. These samples will be brought back to Earth for detailed scientific analysis. The goal is to understand the Moon's composition, its history, and the presence of resources like water ice, which could support future human exploration. This mission helps scientists learn more about the Moon's environment, geological processes, and its potential as a stepping stone for deeper space exploration.
