Lunar Missions

Lunar missions refer to space expeditions aimed at exploring the Moon. These missions have included crewed landings, such as NASA's Apollo program, which successfully sent astronauts to the Moon in the 1960s and 70s. Various robotic missions have also been launched to analyze the Moon’s surface, study its geology, and test new technologies. Recent missions, like those from China and upcoming plans by NASA's Artemis program, aim to revisit the Moon, establish bases, and prepare for deeper space exploration, including Mars. Such missions enhance our understanding of the Moon's resources and history in relation to Earth.
