In situ resource utilization (ISRU) refers to the in situ generation of consumables for
autonomous or human activities from raw materials found on the Moon or other planetary …

Many studies exist on magmatic volatiles (H, C, N, F, S, Cl) in and on the Moon, within the
last several years, that have cast into question the post-Apollo view of lunar formation, the …

Widespread hydration was detected on the lunar surface through observations of a
characteristic absorption feature at 3 µm by three independent spacecraft,–. Whether the …

The past two decades of lunar exploration have seen the detection of substantial quantities
of water on the Moon's surface. It has been proposed that a hydrated layer exists at depth in …

The formation and distribution of lunar surficial water remains ambiguous. Here, we show
the prominence of water (OH/H2O) attributed to solar wind implantation on the uppermost …

Hyperspectral data (Table 1) is acquired as continuous narrowbands (eg, each band with 1
to 10 nanometer or nm bandwidths) over a range of electromagnetic spectrum (eg, 400 …

Several remote observations have indicated that water ice may be presented in permanently
shadowed craters of the Moon. The Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite …

The search for water on the surface of the anhydrous Moon had remained an unfulfilled
quest for 40 years. However, the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) on Chandrayaan-1 has …

A new thermal correction model and experimentally validated relationships between
absorption strength and water content have been used to construct the first global …

The Moon is generally anhydrous, yet the Deep Impact spacecraft found the entire surface to
be hydrated during some portions of the day. Hydroxyl (OH) and water (H2O) absorptions in …
