Lunar Expedition

A lunar expedition refers to any mission aimed at exploring the Moon, typically involving sending astronauts or robotic spacecraft to its surface. These missions seek to understand the Moon's geology, resources, and potential for future habitation. Notably, the Apollo missions by NASA during the 1960s and 1970s landed humans on the Moon for scientific research. Today, various space agencies, including NASA and private companies, are planning new lunar expeditions to advance our understanding of the Moon and prepare for potential human settlements, while also unlocking insights that could apply to Mars and beyond.
