First Lunar Mission

China's Chang'E-5 sent an on-site definitive signal on the confirmation of water in the basalt's rock and soil through an onboard spectral analysis in 2020. The findings of the research, confirmed through laboratory analysis, have been now published in Nature Communications.

A minuscule amount of lunar dust collected by Neil Armstrong during Apollo 11, the mission that first put men on the Moon, has been sold for $504,375 at an auction on Wednesday.

NASA's massive new rocket is poised to make its first journey to a launchpad on Thursday ahead of a battery of tests that will clear it to blast off to the Moon this summer.

China's Chang'e 4 lunar mission discovered a mysterious object that turned out to be a simple rock.

NASA is sending Snoopy, the iconic and adorable character from Peanuts, to the Moon aboard its first Artemis mission early next year. Snoopy became the world's first beagle to land on the lunar surface in the Peanuts comic strips by the late Charles M. Schulz in 1969.

NASA said on Friday that it plans to launch the uncrewed lunar mission Artemis 1 — the first step in US's plan to return humans to the Moon — in February 2022.

NASA said Friday it is now targeting February 2022 for the uncrewed lunar mission Artemis 1, the first step in America's plan to return humans to the Moon later this decade.

The first lunar rocks brought back to Earth in decades show the Moon was volcanically active more recently than previously thought, Chinese scientists said Tuesday.

Russia said it postponed its first mission to the Moon's surface in decades as a result of "problems" encountered during tests of the Luna-25 spacecraft.

It appears that China is ready to widen its horizon when it comes to Moon travel and is taking active steps to enable manned landing on the Moon. A brief news report published by the Xiamen University School of Aeronautics and Astronautics on July 1 has pointed at the country aiming to develop a “human landing system for lunar missions.”

SpaceX will launch the "DOGE-1 Mission to the Moon" in the first quarter of next year, with Elon Musk's commercial rocket company accepting the meme-inspired cryptocurrency dogecoin as payment.

A miniature rover being developed to explore the Moon's surface is on track to join the search for water there, its Hungarian inventors believe – using a device that weighs less than a bag of sugar.

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said it has released the first set of data from the country's second mission to the Moon, Chandrayaan-2, for the general public.

A Canadian astronaut will take part in a lunar mission for the first time in 2023, as part of the NASA-led Artemis project, the minister for innovation, science and industry announced Wednesday.

Chang’e 5, the unmanned Chinese spacecraft carrying rocks and soil from the Moon, returned safely to Earth in the first mission in four decades to collect lunar samples, the Xinhua news agency said.
