In 2025, several missions are planned to return to the Moon, marking a significant step in lunar exploration. These missions, part of NASA's Artemis program, aim to establish a long-term presence on the Moon for scientific research and potential resource utilization. Key missions include Artemis II, a crewed flyby of the Moon, and various commercial missions focused on landing payloads and rovers to study the lunar surface, particularly near the south pole for water ice.
