NASA wants to dig deep into glorifying its flagship Artemis mission. Now the space agency plans to study lunar samples collected during the Apollo era. The sample will be opened at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston by the Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science Division (ARES), which monitors, studies and shares NASA’s collection of alien samples.
While waiting for the technology to improve, NASA saved samples collected during the Apollo missions for future generations to study.

This work is being led by the Apollo Next Generation Sample Analysis Program (ANGSA), a scientific team that aims to understand more about the sample and lunar surface ahead of the upcoming Artemis missions to the south pole of the moon.
ARTEMIS (Acceleration, reconnection, turbulence and electrodynamics of the Moon’s interaction with the Sun) is NASA’s flagship mission to study the Moon’s gravity. NASA’s new rocket called the Space Launch System will send astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft a quarter of 1,000,000 miles from Earth to lunar orbit. NASA wants to demonstrate new technologies, capabilities and business approaches that will ultimately be needed for future exploration of Mars. is a manned space flight program.
ARTEMIS is jointly developed by NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), the Japanese Space Agency, JAXA, and the Canadian Space Agency, CSA. The goal of this mission is to land the first women and the next man on the lunar surface by 2024, especially in the Antarctic, and explore it as an unexplored area.
