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.
