NASA | LRO Observes the LCROSS Impact

NASA's LCROSS and Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter missions aimed to study the Moon's surface. The missions involved selecting an impact site using data from various instruments to find hydrogen sources and cold regions. Upon impact, instruments observed molecular hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and thermal changes, complementing LCROSS findings and paving the way for future studies.
