The entrance of the ongoing analysis of experimental results LCROSS experts NASA gradually come to the conclusion that his primary goal, in general, been achieved: in the polar regions of our natural satellite, never illuminated by the Sun, found significant amounts of water, which may in future be used to supply long-term manned lunar base.

After a more detailed study of the spectral data the researchers concluded that the collision with the Moon Centaur upper stage led to the emergence of two “waves” of emissions of the substance. The first consisted mainly of water vapor and fine dust (they rose at a relatively high altitude), the second – of the larger debris flying at small angles to the surface. The fact that in the first fraction of water is present, it became obvious after decoding the data received on-board spectrometer LCROSS. Told Tony Colaprete of the Keldysh Research Center. Ames (Anthony Colaprete, NASA Ames Research Center). He also said that the volatile component of the emissions contained several compounds of the formula to be clarified. Thus, another experiment on the “bombardment of the Moon” can be considered quite successful. Ballistics NASA, in turn, note the high accuracy of the “hit» – Centaur crashed into the lunar surface about 200 m from the calculation point.
With regard to water, then its in the study area are many: the site covered by spectrometry, represents only part of the square 20-meter crater formed after the collapse of the upper stage, but registered within it the mass of the evolved water vapor up to 100 kg (with a minimum score) . The assumption that scientists are watching the evaporation of ice, “namerzshego” on the booster during preflight training, was excluded at once – in such quantities on the surface of the block it was significantly absent. The main “witness” confirmed the presence of water molecules, was formed in their decay hydroxyl free radical with its characteristic line radiation in the ultraviolet range.
Deposites of ice in cold regions of the moon, apparently, have not been preserved since its formation from the “wreckage” of collision of proto-Earth with a large body planetopodobnym about 4 billion years ago and formed much later and are replenished so far due to condensation of light molecules contained in the interplanetary medium. If so, these deposits will be a valuable source of information about past solar system – in a similar way to our planet permafrost keeps “memory” of a long-past geological epochs.
