Scientists have to study the moon rocks, as more were brought and a detailed study had to be done, this takes years and it was done in various countries.
A spacecraft that stays in orbit around a planet or moon is called a planetary orbiter. They are designed to study the surface, atmosphere, and environment of the celestial body they are orbiting.
Orbit
Lt. Col. Michael Collins remained in the spacecraft that was orbiting the moon. The lunar lander descended from that spacecraft, and returned to it after the landing.
No animals have landed on the moon , only men have landed on the moon.
The shuttle never has and never will orbit the moon.
One of the biggest reasons we still study the moon is to see is there is some form of water on it to sustain some form of life.

An apogee is the point in the orbit of an object (such as a moon or a spacecraft) where it is furtherest from the center or surface of the object it is orbiting. The apogee of the moon is when it is furtherest from the earth's center.
Orbiting satellites.
Dactyl is a moon of the asteroid Ida located in the asteroid belt.

A moon or artificial object orbiting around a planet is called a satellite.
The shuttle never has and never will orbit the moon.
Whenever we send a spacecraft to the Moon it spends time orbiting the Moon. While it is in orbit, it is a 'moon' or satellite to our Moon. The Earth revolves around the Sun, the Moon revolves around the Earth, and a natural or artificial satellite can revolve around the Moon. Presumably, somewhere in the universe, there could be a moon with a moon with a moon.
