The goal of the ANGSA Program is to maximize the science derived from samples returned by the Apollo Program in preparation for future lunar missions.

Jan 22, 2025 · The Apollo Next Generation Sample Analysis (ANGSA) initiative was designed to examine these original, untouched samples that were wisely set aside in anticipation of future, greatly evolved investigatory capabilities.

Aug 7, 2023 · The goal of the 2022 Apollo Next Generation Sample Analysis (ANGSA) Program is to maximize the science derived from samples returned by the Apollo Program in preparation for future lunar missions anticipated in the 2020s and beyond.

Geophysical Research – Planets [e.g., 3-5]. Here, we highlight some of the most important insights that have been gained from ANGSA to help prepare for Artemis, particularly as it pertains to PE. Insights for Artemis PE: (1) The PE and dissection of core samples are time consuming and typically takes 6-8 months.

Jan 21, 2025 · The ANGSA program was designed to function as a low-cost analog sample return mission and served as a testing ground to understand processes, update techniques, and prepare for the preliminary examination (PE) of the to-be-returned lunar samples with Artemis.

Oct 30, 2024 · To pre pare for the return of samples from the Moon by the Ar temis Program, NASA initiated the Apollo Next Gener ation Sample Analysis Program (ANGSA) to analyze a subset of the previously unprocessed Apollo samples.

Aug 20, 2024 · ANGSA is the first to open a core sample previously sealed on the surface of the Moon, the first to extract and analyze lunar gases collected in situ, the first to examine a core that penetrated a lunar landslide deposit, and the first to process pristine …

Analysis (ANGSA) program investigated specially cu-rated Apollo 15 mission samples [1]. As part of this ef-fort, we have conducted a coordinated geochronology study on a suite of Apollo 17 basalts collected from a prominent boulder on the rim of Steno Crater (~0.5 km diameter; Figure 1). Upon return to Earth, three samples
