In the new study, researchers compared simulations of the Moon with gravity maps created by NASA's GRAIL mission in 2011 and ...

This aims to map sources of water on the moon to ... its planned trajectory will use the gravity of the sun, Earth, and moon to guide it to the final orbit—a technique called low-energy transfer.

The former will map the minerals and water on the Moon’s surface—including the ... and its trajectory will then be naturally reshaped by gravity after several lunar flybys and loops around ...

Before arriving at the moon, the small satellite mission will use the gravity of the sun ... producing the best-yet maps of water on the lunar surface. Observations gathered during its two ...
