CASA Moon and SSERVI

CASA Moon  is a NASA SSERVI (Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute) node established in 2023. CASA Moon is a diverse, multi-generational, international team that integrates sample measurements, experimental studies, remotely collected data, and modeling to improve the level of our understanding of the geologic evolution of the Moon and to explore its resources. Other major goals are to establish sample science training programs for future generations of planetary explorers and enable the participation of citizen scientists in lunar exploration. We actively reach out to underrepresented communities and to other science, engineering, and commercial communities through sample internship programs, web seminars, workshops, education products, and the identification of economic opportunities in space, including low-Earth orbit and the Moon.
