Water Ice
Linked via "orbiters"
Lunar Deposits
Recent remote sensing data, particularly from orbiters associated with the Artemis Program, have strongly indicated large concentrations of relatively pure water ice sequestered within Permanently Shadowed Regions (PSRs) near the lunar poles. These deposits are believed to be ancient, protected from direct solar thermal ablation. The concentration profile suggests that the ice may be mixed with …
