Lunar Trailblazer should help scientists sort out the nature of water on the moon
Briefly

As we embark on the Lunar Trailblazer mission, our aim is to understand the water on the moon, focusing on its various forms – from solid ice to bound water in rocks, which could prove vital for future exploration. We anticipate that this mission will clarify uncertainties, possibly showing less water than projected, but fundamentally, it helps address how we can utilize these resources for sustained human presence.
The excitement surrounding the prospect of mining lunar water is palpable among space entrepreneurs; they envision tapping into this resource as a mean to sustain future human activities on the moon, despite current knowledge being ambiguous. Lunar Trailblazer’s findings could either confirm or challenge these hopes of a lunar water bonanza – we’re prepared for some surprising results.
