Is There Water on the Moon? We Asked a NASA Scientist

Is there water on the Moon? Yes! But you won't find pools of liquid H2O on the lunar surface water on the Moon is mostly in the form of ice.

Harvesting this water is a critical component of future human deep space exploration, which is why our golf cart-sized VIPER, or the Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover, will be traveling to the Moon's South Pole to search for ice and other potential resources to determine where they came from.
