Water in the Moon's polar areas: Results of LEND neutron telescope mapping
Abstract
The results of LEND neutron telescope mapping of the lunar surface are presented. The estimations obtained show that the water content in the regolith in the polar areas of the Moon reaches 0.4 % by weight and not directly determined by the illuminated surface.
