1
00:00:02,852 --> 00:00:06,139
Artemis three will be
the first sample return mission of NASA's

2
00:00:06,139 --> 00:00:10,193
Artemis Program,
sampling rocks and regolith from one of 13

3
00:00:10,193 --> 00:00:14,614
candidate regions on the moon,
all located near the Lunar South Pole.

4
00:00:14,698 --> 00:00:18,385
The Apollo lunar landers returned
a treasure chest of samples that taught us

5
00:00:18,385 --> 00:00:23,490
about the history of the solar system
dating back about 4 billion years ago.

6
00:00:23,573 --> 00:00:26,509
Artemis missions will explore
areas near the South Pole

7
00:00:26,509 --> 00:00:32,165
on the rim of the moon's oldest basin,
the enormous South Pole Aitken basin.

8
00:00:32,248 --> 00:00:35,068
Artemis will explore areas nearly
1 billion years

9
00:00:35,068 --> 00:00:38,371
older than those explored by Apollo

10
00:00:38,455 --> 00:00:41,658
lunar samples
from Artemis three and future missions

11
00:00:41,658 --> 00:00:45,612
will help scientists interpret
the impact history of the Moon and Earth,

12
00:00:45,678 --> 00:00:49,566
as well as increase
our understanding of planetary processes.

13
00:00:49,649 --> 00:00:51,901
OSIRIS-REx, the first U.S.

14
00:00:51,901 --> 00:00:52,619
mission to collect

15
00:00:52,619 --> 00:00:57,057
a sample from an asteroid
will return samples from asteroid Bennu.

16
00:00:57,140 --> 00:01:01,044
The rocks and dust collected will offer
generations of scientists a window

17
00:01:01,044 --> 00:01:06,182
into a time when the sun and planets
were forming over 4.5 billion years ago.

18
00:01:06,266 --> 00:01:09,302
Samples from OSIRIS-REx
and Artemis could rewrite

19
00:01:09,302 --> 00:01:12,839
our understanding
of the evolution of the solar system.

20
00:01:12,922 --> 00:01:15,475
And that's a look
at your Artemis Moon Minute.
