At the beginning of a new era of lunar exploration, Apollo planned to land on the moon for the last time 17, and 12 astronauts landed on the surface of the moon one after another. This series of "visits" greatly enriched human understanding of the moon. Every flight of Apollo carried out an extensive survey on the surface of the moon, and collected a large number of lunar rocks and soil samples, of which 440 kilograms of lunar rocks were brought back to Earth from the moon. During Apollo flight, many instruments were installed on the moon for scientific research, such as solar wind experiment and lunar seismic survey.
