How Will We Extract Water on the Moon? We Asked a NASA Technologist

We know the Moon contains water, but, could future

astronauts access and make use of it? That's the

goal. At NASA, we're actively trying to answer that

question. Once it lands at the lunar south pole, our PRIME-1 - Polar Resources Ice Mining Experiment-1 - will robotically sample and analyze ice from beneath the lunar surface, contributing to our search for water on the Moon.
