| ID No : | 614 Edit | Title: | Targeted Search Near Lunar Poles for Potential Alteration Products Resulting from Impact Cratering into Volatile-"Rich" Terrains |
| Summary / Review : | "Whereas the Moon is cold and dry, there is evidence for water ice deposited in "permanent" shadows near the poles [1]. These deposits are of interest as water reservoirs for future manned missions to the Moon, of which planning for such is a primary goal of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) [2]. As the search for water ice continues, including LCROSS [3], we propose to use LRO instrumentation to search for potential alteration products resulting from the interaction of target lunar rocks, water/ice, and heat associated with melt formation during the impact cratering process."
