NASA's Lunar Exploration program

NASA's Lunar Exploration program aims to study the Moon’s surface, resources, and environment to support future human missions and scientific research. It involves sending orbiters, landers, and rovers to gather data on lunar geology, water ice, and permanent habitats. The program also seeks to develop sustainable ways for humans to live and work on the Moon, serving as a stepping stone for missions further into space, like Mars. Through international collaboration and advanced technology, NASA hopes to unlock lunar secrets, advance scientific knowledge, and demonstrate new capabilities for long-term space exploration.
