Understanding the moon helps us to understand other planets, how they have evolved and the processes that have shaped their surfaces. He also helps us to understand the influence that the Moon had on earth, the file of the old sun, and it serves as a platform to study the rest of the universe. Using the moon as the nearest test field for robotics and instrument systems, we can continue human exploration not only to the moon, but also to the rest of the solar system.

Thanks to the Artemis missions, NASA will send astronauts to explore the moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits and to build the bases of the first missions equipped with Mars.
