Science Mission Directorate (SMD), the Exploration Science Strategy Integration Office (ESSIO) ensures science is infused into all aspects of lunar exploration. Through researching the Moon and its environment, and by using the Moon as an observation platform, NASA strives to gain a greater understanding of the Moon, the solar system, the universe, and the deep space environment. We integrate goals of the National Academy’s <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/about-us/science-strategy/decadal-surveys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Decadal Surveys</a> as well as other scientific community documents with the priorities of the Agency into a comprehensive strategy for lunar science. Amongst other things, our office is tasked with the integration of science into <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/specials/artemis/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Artemis</a> and the <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/moontomarsarchitecture/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Moon to Mars</a> architecture. </p> <p>ESSIO leads integration between SMD Divisions, NASA Mission Directorates, other government agencies, international partners, as well as the broad scientific and commercial communities.</p> <p>This integration is accomplished through development of instruments/payloads, leading cross-directorate activities, fostering international partnerships, and creating innovative methods of sending payloads to the lunar surface with commercial entities.  </p> <div id="" class="hds-media hds-module wp-block-image"><div class="margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline"><div class="hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto"><figure class="hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-cover "><a href="https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/ldep-1.jpeg"><img width="1041" height="478" src="https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/ldep-1.jpeg?w=1041" class="attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048" alt="A ridge that is comprised of lunar rock is grey in color with silver highlights.
