Lunar Research and Exploration

Lunar research and exploration involve studying the Moon’s surface, composition, and environment to better understand its origins and potential for future use. This includes sending satellites, robotic landers, and crewed missions to collect data, analyze soil and rocks, and test new technologies. Goals include uncovering clues about the Moon’s history, assessing its resources like water ice, and preparing for sustained human presence. This research helps advance scientific knowledge, supports future manned missions, and may enable the Moon to serve as a stepping stone for deeper space exploration.
