NASA is preparing to visit the largest valley on the Moon using the intuitive Machines’ Nova-C lunar lander. Since 1972, the Apollo mission, such lunar landing assessment hasn’t been done. Unlike other valleys on the Moon, the largest valley aka Vallis Schroteri is believed to have been formed by a collapsed lava tube that flowed from the Cobra head crater. The area could contain material from billions of years ago.
