NASA Lunar Science Institute

The NASA Lunar Science Institute (NLSI) supplements and extends existing NASA lunar science programs. NLSI is managed by the NASA Ames Research Center, with dispersed teams across the nation working together to help lead the agency's research activities related to NASA's lunar exploration goals. Competitively selected team investigations focus on one or more aspects of lunar science -- investigations of the Moon (including lunar samples), from the Moon, and/or on the Moon.
