Gizmag Comment Feed: The search for ice on the moon heats up http://www.gizmag.com Special sensing technology developed by Raytheon for the US Navy's miniaturized radio frequency system is aboard NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), one of two spacecraft hoping to find photographic evidence that the polar regions of the moon contain ice. Until now, man hasn’t been able to confirm if there is ice on the moon because it is thought to exist only in permanently dark patches, or poles, on the lunar landscape – which means we haven’t been able to take detailed photos yet. NASA in particular is interested in determining the extent to which lunar ice exists, if at all, as the agency prepares for future manned exploration and possible habitation on the moon.en gizmag.com Comment on 'The search for ice on the moon heats up' by Ed http://www.gizmag.com/ice-moon-raytheon-lro/12384/#comment-4273 http://www.gizmag.com/ice-moon-raytheon-lro/12384/#comment-4273 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 14:49:42 -0500 Comment on 'The search for ice on the moon heats up' by Emily Elizabeth Windsor-Cragg http://www.gizmag.com/ice-moon-raytheon-lro/12384/#comment-4270 http://www.gizmag.com/ice-moon-raytheon-lro/12384/#comment-4270 Tue, 04 Aug 2009 18:42:39 -0500 Comment on 'The search for ice on the moon heats up' by Emily Elizabeth Windsor-Cragg http://www.gizmag.com/ice-moon-raytheon-lro/12384/#comment-4267 http://www.gizmag.com/ice-moon-raytheon-lro/12384/#comment-4267 Tue, 04 Aug 2009 18:03:16 -0500
