Moon missions refer to various space exploration efforts aimed at studying and exploring the Moon. These missions have been conducted by several countries, with notable examples including the Apollo program by the United States, which successfully landed astronauts on the lunar surface from 1969 to 1972. Other missions include robotic landers and orbiters, such as Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and Chandrayaan by India.
In recent years, interest in the Moon has surged, leading to new missions planned by various space agencies, including NASA's Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the lunar surface. These missions focus on scientific research, resource exploration, and preparing for future human exploration of Mars.
