Studying Earth's satellite
Lunar research is scientific study of the Moon—its geology, atmosphere, history, and potential for human use.
The term covers everything from analyzing rock samples to mapping surface features to testing whether lunar ice could support future settlements.
NASA's lunar research program aims to establish a permanent base by 2030.
