After a flurry of excited activity following the US Apollo and Russian Luna sample return missions in the 1960s and 1970s, there was a period of relative quiescence in lunar science during the 1990s. However, during this time, some important new datasets became available from the Clementine and Lunar Prospector orbital missions. Also, over the last 15 years we have discovered that some meteorites originated on the Moon, and these can provide us with new samples of this celestial body from a wider range of lunar locations than are available from the sample return missions.
