to the Moon
Artemis is a campaign of human exploration missions on the Moon for scientific discovery and learning to work and live on another planetary surface. A central part of the science includes performing traverses, collecting samples and data, deploying instruments, and bringing samples and knowledge back to Earth for additional study. ARES scientists, building on the legacy of Apollo, are involved in a wide variety of Artemis-related work including of Artemis mission planning, training, operations, sample return, curation and research.
