How Will We Extract Water on the Moon? We Asked a NASA Technologist Although water is present on the Moon might future astronauts get it and use it? That is the aim. That is a question that NASA is actively attempting to address. Our PRIME-1—Polar Resources Ice Mining Experiment—will robotically sample and study ice from beneath the lunar surface once it lands at the lunar south pole aiding in the search for water on the Moon.

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 lce Mining
Experiment-1 - will robotically sample and analyze ice from
beneath the lunar surface, contributing to our search for water on
the Moon.
