LCROSS stands for Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite. It was a NASA mission launched in 2009 to study the permanently shadowed regions of the moon's polar regions by impacting a spacecraft into a crater to expose subsurface materials.

Water is the anser
1 answer
The LCROSS probe, designed to determine the presence of water at the Moon's Southern Pole, targeted the permanently shaded Cabeus crater to crash into and eject enough material for analysis. Approximately 25 gallons of water was reported to have been found as a result.

NASA scientist are exited about the fact that LCROSS has found proof of water on the moon. When the LCROSS probe slammed into the surface of the moon, the cloud of debris that was ejected from the force of impact was analysed by the lunar reconnaissance orbiter and determined that the crater was "full" of ice. Previously scientist thought that the moon was a very dried place. Water on the moon could possibly be transformed one day by astronauts living on the moon to create fuel for a spacecraft that could fly to Mars.

The NASA LCROSS (Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite) module was approximately 1.85 meters (6.1 feet) tall and weighed about 504 kilograms (1,110 pounds). Its size was relatively small compared to other spacecraft, as it was designed for a specific mission to impact the Moon's surface.

A satellite orbits another body. The moon is a natural satellite of the earth. For awhile, LCROSS was a satellite of the moon (until we smashed it into the lunar surface).

No, NASA did not bomb the moon. However, in 2009, NASA did crash a probe into the moon to study its composition. This mission was called the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) mission.

On June 18th of 2009, NASA sent a probe in space called LCROSS (Lunar CRater Observation Sensing Satellite) to crash into the south region of the moon near the Cabeus crater. On the 9th of October of that same year, the space craft crashed into its target with dead aim precision. the LRO or Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, another probe sent at the same time as LCROSS took spectrometry data from the cloud of debris that was ejected from the surface of the moon seconds after LCROSS impacted the Earths natural satellite. Spectrometers look at gases and by looking at the rate of absorption of light, scientist can determine was molecules are in the substance being observed, since each molecule has its very own unique spectrum lines (the colors of the rainbow). for example if looking at mercury gas we would see blue green and orange lines of color where as in hydrogen gas we would see violet blue aqua and red. The data from the spectrometers show very clearly that the spectrum for water in present.

Yes
The LCROSS mission that NASA conducted revealed gold on the moon. It was essentially a rocket crashing into the moon and scientist analyzed the particles blown into the atmosphere. After reviewing the data NASA determined that there is gold on the moon.
As for mining it, the cost still makes it a pipe dream.

On 8 October 2009, NASA deliberately crashed an LCROSS satellite and its rocket into the moon, and observed the particulates that the crash ejected from the Moon's surface. In analyzing the spectroscopic properties of the ejected material, NASA was able to confirm that the particulate contained "significant" quantities of water.

NASA used a space probe and its monitoring craft to purposefully crash in to the Moon's Cabeus crater to kick up particles for analysis. The crater is in an area permanently shaded at the Moon's Southern Pole. Though it took a month to do the spectral analysis, they did determine a significant amount of water from the crash of both the empty rocket hull and the LCROSS probe itself.
The LCROSS probe (Lunar Crater Observation & Sensing Satellite) slammed into the Moon as expected, though the resulting plume was hardly what was expected or advertised. Still, they were able to determine about 25 gallons of water was released, meaning there's a lot more on the Moon than previously believed. Water particles have always been found in molecular quantities in moon dust, but never in the quantity found recently.
The implications are huge - not only does it potentially mean that a base could use local water for supply, it can use it to manufacture rocket fuel as well.

NASA crashed an object into the moon as part of the LCROSS mission to search for water ice below the lunar surface. By impacting a spacecraft into a permanently shadowed crater, scientists were able to analyze the resulting debris plume to confirm the existence of water molecules on the moon. This discovery has implications for future lunar exploration and potential utilization of lunar resources.

Scientists believe that the moon has some water present on its surface, primarily in the form of ice. Studies have shown that there may be water ice in shadowed regions of the moon's polar regions and possibly in other areas as well, but the exact amount of water on the moon is still being researched.

NASA's water detection efforts on the moon involved the LCROSS mission in 2009, where they intentionally crashed a rocket into a permanently shadowed crater near the lunar south pole. The impact created a plume of debris that was analyzed for the presence of water molecules. This experiment detected significant amounts of water ice on the moon, confirming the presence of water in its polar regions.

No. (This was a distractor from a multiple-choice question.)
Not even! We could only HOPE for such a fortunate discovery. The equatorial regions of the Moon are baked by 14 days of sunlight per month, and any ice or water near the surface has probably long since boiled away.
But the recent LCROSS satellite that was steered into a collision with the Moon indicates that there is at least SOME water ice in deep always-shadowed craters near the Moon's polar regions.
So where did the water come from? The best guess is that it came from comets (which contain large amounts of water ice) colliding with the Moon over the eons. It is at least barely possible that some fraction of the water in Earth's oceans may have come from comet impacts.

Water has been found on the moon, both in the form of ice in permanently shadowed craters at the poles, as well as molecules of water scattered across the lunar surface. This discovery has implications for future lunar exploration missions and potential lunar colonization efforts.

A clementine is a small citrus fruit that is a hybrid between a mandarin orange and a sweet orange. It is typically easy to peel and has a sweet and juicy flavor. Clementines are often enjoyed as a snack or used in salads and desserts.

Space as verbly means that in a group of occupied places if ther is one place un occupied then we term it as space
Similarly in space there is no gas{co2} present it is vacant place unoccupied by any one or any gas.

Space is a vacuum, meaning it does not contain matter. There are three states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. CO2 is a gas. Therefore space does not contain carbon dioxide.

The spacecrafts that have successfully landed on the moon include the Apollo missions carried out by NASA, the Soviet Luna program, and the Chinese Chang'e program. Notable missions include Apollo 11 (first manned landing), Luna 9 (first soft landing), and Chang'e 5 (most recent landing in 2020).

When a rocket is in space, it continues along its intended trajectory unless affected by gravitational forces or external propulsion. Rockets can travel to various destinations in space, such as other planets, moons, or into orbit around Earth.

It is estimated that there are potentially billions of planets in the Milky Way galaxy that possess water in some form. This is based on observations of water ice and water vapor in various planetary systems, as well as theoretical models of planetary formation and evolution.
