NASA Explorers Moon Detective

NASA Explorers S2 E4

What happened to the lost data from the Apollo era? Get to know the "data detectives" who are tracking it down. The science experiments the Apollo astronauts conducted from the surface of the Moon provide a long-term data record that's crucial to understanding our Moon as a complete system. Today's scientists are looking forward to future human exploration of the Moon and the discoveries to follow.
