Lunar Sample Laboratory

The Lunar Sample Laboratory is a specialized facility where researchers study rocks and soil collected from the Moon during the Apollo missions and other lunar explorations. Scientists analyze these lunar samples to understand the Moon's geology, formation, and history, which provides insights into the early solar system, including Earth’s development. The laboratory uses advanced tools and techniques to investigate the samples' mineral composition, chemical properties, and potential resources. This research helps to inform future lunar missions and potential habitation plans, as well as deepen our understanding of planetary processes.
