"US Set to Make Historic Lunar Return After 50-Year Hiatus"

The United States is set to return to the Moon on January 25, more than 50 years after the last Apollo mission. The mission will be carried out by American company Astrobotic, using their lander named Peregrine, which will carry NASA instruments to study the lunar environment. The launch is scheduled for December 24, and the descent will be carried out autonomously. This mission is part of NASA's Artemis program, which aims to establish a base on the surface of the Moon.
