Mons Mouton is the landing site for NASA’s Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER) mission. VIPER will explore the mountain during its approximately 100-day mission. 

Four Ranger 8 Camera P images taken on 20 February 1965 from a distance of 20 km about 9 seconds before impact on the Moon.

Three days prior to its planned impact on a lunar mountain, mission controllers activated the camera aboard one of NASA's GRAIL twins to take some final photos from lunar orbit.

Astronaut John W. Young, commander of Apollo 16, leaps from the lunar surface as he salutes the United States flag.

Journey to Cone crater with Apollo 14 astronauts.

These four images were the first taken by the Ranger 8 P-series cameras.

The first image taken by the Ranger 8 camera B on 20 February 1965 shows the 164 km diameter Ptolemaeus crater, top center, and below it Alphonsus crater (diameter 108 km).

Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, lunar module pilot, walks on the surface of the Moon.

Take a look at the Apollo landing sites as well as the Moon’s South Pole, an area with enormous potential for future exploration.

Final pictures taken by the Ranger 8 P-camera about 1/2 second before impact.

This view of the rising Earth greeted the Apollo 8 astronauts as they came from behind the moon after the lunar orbit insertion burn.

This image shows the variations in the lunar gravity field as measured by NASA's Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) during the primary mapping mission from March to May 2012.

Photomosaic of lunar panorama near the Tycho crater taken by Surveyor 7. The hills on the center horizon are about eight miles away from the spacecraft.

Researchers hope "LADEE" will solve a mystery that has been puzzling them since the days of Apollo.

NASA's LADEE mission came to an end as the spacecraft executed a planned de-orbit into the surface of the Moon at nearly three thousand, six hundred miles per hour.

Learn why returning to the Moon is the natural next step in human space exploration.
