NASA Collaborates With Astronomers In Search For Moon Water

Moon Daily

In early 2009, astronomers on Earth will point telescopes at the moon looking for water -- and NASA will help them find their target. This past Friday NASA experts and professional astronomers gathered at NASA's Ames Research Center for the Lunar Crater Observing and Sensing Satellite, or LCROSS, Astronomer Workshop.

The workshop's goal was to facilitate collaboration among experts concerning the best techniques to observe the expected debris plume created by the satellite's impacts on the lunar South Pole.

"The mission team, through the LCROSS Observation Campaign, will encourage astronomers using both ground- and space-based telescopes to observe the LCROSS lunar impacts," said Jennifer Heldmann, coordinator of the LCROSS Observation Campaign.
