NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft revealed that as much as 22 percent of the material found in Shackleton crater, at the lunar south pole, may be made up of ice.

But NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has been orbiting the moon since 2009 and mapping the south pole region. Scientists want to understand how the ice deposits initially formed in the craters.

Since water was confirmed on the moon in 2009, space agencies worldwide have raced to explore the lunar South Pole, a ...

This NASA image, showing areas of the moon’s south pole that are most likely to hold deposits of water ice, was assembled with data gathered by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Water sources ...

NASA CubeSat will hitch a ride on the forthcoming SLS mission and scope out the lunar South Pole for water ... will take it as low as 10- to 25-km above the lunar South Pole and some 4,000-km ...

After the loss of competing Russian Luna-25 lander, India's Chandrayaan-3 is set to hunt for water ice in the moon's unexplored south pole region.

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has found that slopes facing the south pole of the moon might be more rich in water than other parts of the lunar surface.

Conquering the South Pole remains one of the grandest challenges in lunar science, but it’s a potentially rewarding endeavour. If evidence of water is found it will make human settlements much ...

India has landed a spacecraft near the moon's south pole, an unchartered territory that scientists believe could hold vital reserves of frozen water and precious elements, as the country cements ...
