Water on The Moon , II . Origins & Resources
LCROSS hints of increasing volatile concentration at increasing depths, to 3 meters or more into the Moon, as indicated by amount of water seen as the event developed. [1] In comparison new epithermal neutron results indicate that within the first two meters depth of regolith resides a desiccated layer in the top 0.4 meters. LRO’s LEND (Lunar Exploration Neutron Detector) found 4% water-equival...
متن کاملDetection of adsorbed water and hydroxyl on the Moon.
Data from the Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) on Cassini during its flyby of the Moon in 1999 show a broad absorption at 3 micrometers due to adsorbed water and near 2.8 micrometers attributed to hydroxyl in the sunlit surface on the Moon. The amounts of water indicated in the spectra depend on the type of mixing and the grain sizes in the rocks and soils but could be 10 to 1000...
متن کاملWater on the surface of the Moon as seen by the Moon Mineralogy Mapper: Distribution, abundance, and origins
A new thermal correction model and experimentally validated relationships between absorption strength and water content have been used to construct the first global quantitative maps of lunar surface water derived from the Moon Mineralogy Mapper near-infrared reflectance data. We find that OH abundance increases as a function of latitude, approaching values of ~500 to 750 parts per million (ppm...
متن کاملTalking on the Moon
How effective, efficient and natural human-robot interaction can be depends for an important part on how meaning can be shared and construed between a human and a robot. The paper presents an initial investigation in the architectural functions that appear to underly embodied, situated understanding in joint action and interaction. The identified functions are combined into a concept system arc...
متن کاملAn asteroidal origin for water in the Moon
The Apollo-derived tenet of an anhydrous Moon has been contested following measurement of water in several lunar samples that require water to be present in the lunar interior. However, significant uncertainties exist regarding the flux, sources and timing of water delivery to the Moon. Here we address those fundamental issues by constraining the mass of water accreted to the Moon and modelling...
