Where Are the Moon Rocks? We Asked a NASA Expert
Where are the Moon rocks from the Apollo missions
kept? When they're not being studied by institutions or
enjoyed by museungoers, NASA has a specialized
Lunar Sample Curation Laboratory at NASA's Johnson
Space Center to store and keep these otherworldly
samples safe. Studying these samples helps us learn
more about the origin of not only our moon, but our
planet. Deputy Apollo Sample Curator (Sept 2019 -
Dec 2022) Dr. Juliane Gross explains more about lunar
sample curation.

Do Robots Help Humans in Space? We Asked a NASA Technologist
When it comes to space, humans and robots go way
back. We rely heavily on our mechanical friends to
perform tasks that are too dangerous, difficult, or out
of reach for us humans. We're even working on a new
generation of robots that will help us explore in
advanced and novel ways.

Autonomous Distributed Robotic Exploration-project
and how this new network of mini rovers could enable
future self-guided robotic exploration of the Moon,
Mars, and beyond
