The high-resolution maps that follow will offer unprecedented insight into where lunar water collects, how much there is, and how it changes over time. Lunar Trailblazer launched from Kennedy ...

Lunar samples show evidence that solar wind could be behind the water molecules on the moon's surface, according to NASA. The results could shine a light on how water ice collects in cold traps formed ...

DARPA is seeking proposals for a small lunar orbiter that could be used to test operations in very low orbits while ...

Scientists confirm the Sun's charged particles can create water on the Moon. Learn how solar wind interacts with lunar soil.

The instrument’s primary purpose is to find ice water in deep polar craters using ultraviolet ... less mature features in our maps of the lunar surface,” said the study’s lead author, Benjamin Byron, ...

The Lunar Trailblazer is prepped to study the water cycle and collect several datasets that map the water on the lunar surface, the quantities of water and figure out how it correlates with the ...

Scientists and space explorers have been on the hunt to determine where and how much ice is present on the Moon. Water ice would be an important resource at a future lunar base, as it could be used to ...

"Water abundance in the lunar mantle provides insights into the giant impact formation models for the Moon and plays a ...

The team's findings, published on Thursday in the journal Nature, reveal that the mantle source of Chang'e 6 mare basalts contains 1 to 1.5 micrograms per gram of water, indicating that the lunar ...

That the water content within the lunar far and near sides differs seems “coincidentally consistent” with the variations in the surface features of the moon’s two hemispheres, said Sen Hu ...

The challenge seeks to propel technological innovation for future lunar habitation, specifically in regard to accessing clean drinking water on the Moon. The UK Space Agency announced the winners ...
