According to astronomers, finding ways to create and use fuel on the moon is critical to future human space exploration. Could prove to be an important resource for space exploration.
Effective use of these important resources on the Moon depends on a better understanding of where and how water forms and persists in the lunar soil.
According to study co-author Kathryn De Burgess from the US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), hydrogen could potentially be a source that could be used directly if there were permanent installations on the lunar surface.
Dr. Catherine said that understanding how to identify and collect resources before reaching the moon is critical to space exploration.
Until now, scientists knew that hydrogen in the solar wind reacts with lunar soil to form soil on the moon. However, according to the researchers, the formation and retention of water in the soil depends on other minerals and other factors in the lunar soil.
