		Inclination is one of the six orbital parameters describing the shape and orientation of a celestial orbit and is the angular distance of the orbital plane from the plane of the reference (usually planets equator or the ecliptic), stated in degrees.
		The mission ended on 31 July 1999 at 9:52:02 UT (5:52:02 EDT) when Lunar Prospector was deliberately targeted to impact in a permanently shadowed area of the Shoemaker crater near the lunar south pole.
		The Lunar Prospector GRS produced the first global measurements of gamma-ray spectra from the lunar surface, from which are derived the first "direct" measurements of the chemical composition for the entire lunar surface.

		Based on Lunar Prospector Neutron Spectrometer (NS) data, mission scientists have determined that there is indeed (An ice containing no milk) water ice in the polar craters of the Moon -- an estimated 3 billion (A unit of weight equivalent to 1000 kilograms) metric tons (260 billion gallons).
		See for the newest gravity map (as of May 2005) based on Lunar Prospector data (values are expressed as deviation from the (An average of n numbers computed by adding some function of the numbers and dividing by some function of n) mean; therefore, negative values do not indicate antigravity).

	Lunar Prospector
		Lunar Prospector was the third of NASA's Discovery missions.
		Lunar Prospector was designed to determine the origin, evolution, and current state of resources of the Moon via low-altitude mapping of its surface composition, magnetic fields, gravity fields, and gas release events.
		After launch, the Lunar Prospector had a 105 hour cruise to the Moon, followed by insertion into a near-circular 100 km altitude lunar polar orbit with a period of 118 minutes.
