Space exploration and science go hand in hand. This is true for both robotic and manned missions. The advantage of missions that include astronauts is that they may be able to figure out how to repair something that stopped working, and they can modify the research itinerary if something unexpected of greater scientific interest is found.

Detection of a climate-induced increase in the lunar recession rate
Astronomy & AstrophysicsGravitational interplay between the Earth and Moon is believed to steadily increase the length of day (ΔLOD) and cause a secular drift of the Moon away from the Earth (lunar recession).

A synthesis arrary for lunar submillimeter astronomy
AIP Conference Proceedings, 1990This paper describes a system concept for a Synthsis Array for Lunar Submillimeter Astronomy (SALSA). It includes a brief discussion of the science objectives and the advantages of placing such an array on the moon, the system concept, and a top‐level discussion of the various subsystems, including the technology drivers associated with each.

ARCSEC source location measurements in gamma-ray astronomy from a lunar observatory
AIP Conference Proceedings, 1990The physical processes typically used in the detection of high energy γ rays do not permit good angular resolution, which makes difficult the unambiguous association of discrete γ‐ray sources with objects emitting at other wavelengths. This problem can be overcome by placing γ‐ray detectors on the Moon and using the horizon as an occulting edge to ...
