Exploring the Lunar Surface
NASA announced in December 2006 the initial elements of the Global Exploration Strategy and a proposed U.S. lunar architecture, two critical tools for achieving the nation's vision of returning humans to the moon.
Building upon valuable information gained from remote-sensing missions such as Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), as well as future robotic missions reaching the surface of the moon, NASA plans to once again land humans on the moon. Seen here are highlights from an artist's concept of a future lunar landing.
