“Broke, we found the water, not a little, but quite a lot.” NASA is responsible for the moon Hang observation and sensing satellite program’s chief scientist Anthony Colaprete 13, said at a press conference the case of .
Colaprete said, “hit on” scheme at 1.6 km from the moon hit a high of dust, which contains about 25 gallons of water.
Discovery under the lunar surface is the presence of water, NASA launched the Moon October 9 pit observation and sensing satellite and Centaur rocket, crashed into a pre-selected one of the lunar south pole crater. Space Agency issued a press release, semi – Sagittarius Rockets hit two months later set off the dust: one from the steam and dust composition; and partly by the quality of the composition of heavier material. a preliminary analysis of results provide a variety of evidence that these two parts of water are present in dust trace.
“Although the moon and other substances, Sheung Shui, the concentration and distribution of needed further analysis to confirm, but it can safely say that Kai Busi crater exists in the water.” Colaprete said.
NASA’s official website said that the results of human understanding of the moon opened a new chapter.
NASA headquarters in Washington, chief lunar scientist迈克尔瓦格, said: “We are neighbors opened the mystery, to understand the entire solar system. Facts have proved that the moon is a wealth of secrets, while the ‘hit on’ took us into a The new Discovery level. ”
Scientists had previously detected the lunar north and south polar regions that contain a wealth of hydrogen, thus speculated that the moon may be rich in polar water ice. While in this “hit on”, the scientists believe that water ice on the moon may have a wider distribution.
NASA plans to send astronauts back to 2020, the moon. The discovery of the water is believed to be a strong impetus to the launching of the human lunar exploration program.
