Investigating Space: Water on the Moon - Chabot Space & Science Center
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 12/17/2022
Is there water on the Moon? We’re about to find with the upcoming mission of NASA’s Prime-1 lunar project. Before Artemis astronauts land on the Moon in 2024, robots will scout the surface for resources and collect information about the lunar South Pole. Some landers and rovers will come equipped with handy tools, including drills and chemical analyzers, to examine what lies below the lunar surface.
The Polar Resources Ice Mining Experiment-1 (PRIME-1) will be the first in-situ resource utilization demonstration on the Moon. Additionally, for the first time, NASA will robotically sample and analyze for ice from below the surface.
Join us every third Saturday of the month for Investigating Space as we explore and discuss the big topics in space exploration with some of the leading scientists and researchers in the Bay Area. In this new series Chabot Space & Science Center highlights the latest discoveries, science research and space missions.
Investigating Space is hosted by Chabot Museum Educator Maxwell Edmonds-Drati.
