Lunar Research
Lunar research involves the scientific study of the Moon to understand its composition, geology, and potential resources. This research helps scientists learn about the Moon's formation and its relationship with Earth. Various missions, including those by NASA and other space agencies, have sent spacecraft and rovers to gather data and samples.
In addition to understanding the Moon, lunar research explores the possibility of future human exploration and habitation. Scientists investigate the presence of water ice in permanently shadowed craters, which could support future missions. This research is crucial for planning long-term human presence on the Moon and beyond.
