NASA Moon Mission

NASA on Thursday said it was on target for a June mission to go on the Moon's surface for landing sites. The water that would allow humans to work and even live on Earth's nearest neighbor. The space agency hopes to launch a dual craft in June. This is part of which would survey the Moon's surface from orbit. Another unit goes into the lunar surface in search for water. We had the original target of providing information back for being able to safely return to the Moon for exploration. That's what Mike Wargo said. He is a NASA's chief lunar scientist.
The mission will focus on the lunar poles. THe people are hoping to confirm reports of hydrogen water ice. The water-ice is not found at the equatorial regions that where famously explored by humans in the last century.It is scheduled to lift-off and strapped to an Atlas V rocket. This is from Cape Canaveral, Florida on June 17. One of the we are looking for is the potential of water ice at the lunar polar regions in these really mysterious permanently shadowed regions. That's what Wargo said. This is all the information I could find.
