Lunar bases are permanent or semi-permanent structures built on the Moon's surface to support human activities. They are intended to facilitate research, exploration, and potential colonization of the Moon, providing essential resources and infrastructure for long-term missions.
The Artemis Program is a NASA initiative aimed at returning humans to the Moon by the mid-2020s, with the goal of establishing a sustainable human presence on the lunar surface and preparing for future missions to Mars.
