	Lunar Prospector - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The mission ended July 31, 1999 when the Lunar Prospector was deliberately targeted to impact in a permanently shadowed crater near the lunar south pole.
		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.

		Prospector reported back the presence of hydrogen, which is often bundled into water molecules, on both the north and south poles of the moon, according to William Feldman, a laboratory fellow at Los Alamos National Laboratory, who led the study on Prospector's search for water on the moon.
		Prospector found a total of approximately 3 billion metric tons of water ice on each pole of the moon, Feldman said.
		Prospector houses five separate scientific instruments which, in addition to the mapping and the search for water, have been relaying information about the moon's gravity and its magnetic field, which may have been caused by the impact of comets, Binder said.

		Lunar Prospector is a small,1.3m in diameter X 1.4m tall bus with three 2.5 meter science masts carrying its five science instruments and isolating them from the spacecraft's electronics, spin-stabilized spacecraft in a polar orbit with a period of 118 minutes at a nominal altitude of 100 km (63 miles).
		Prospector's one-year-long primary mission with an optional extended mission of a further 6 months at an even lower altitude enables large amounts of data to collect over time.
		As a Discovery-class mission, Prospector's scientific goals were carefully chosen to address outstanding questions of lunar science both efficiently and effectively.

	Discovery Missions: Prospector
		Lunar Prospector, the third Discovery mission, launched on January 6, 1998, and was successfully placed into orbit 63 miles above the lunar surface five days later.
		Besides water, Lunar Prospector searched for other natural resources, such as minerals and gases, that could be used to build and sustain a future human lunar base or to manufacture fuel for launching spacecraft from the Moon to the rest of the Solar System.
		In March 1998, mission scientists announced tentative findings of the presence of water ice in shadowed craters near the Moon's south and north poles, based on reasonable scientific assumptions from the levels of hydrogen detected, from which water ice is inferred.

	Lunar Prospector initial science results briefing
		Finally, Lunar Prospector data suggests that the Moon has a small, iron-rich core approximately 186 miles (300 kilometers) in radius, which is toward the smaller end of the range predicted by most current theories.
		Lunar Prospector was launched on Jan. 6, 1998, aboard a Lockheed Martin Athena 2 solid-fuel rocket and entered lunar orbit on Jan. 11.
		On that basis, Lunar Prospector's estimate of water ice would have to be increased by a factor of up to four, to the range of 44 million to 1.3 billion tons (40 million to 1.2 billion metric tons).

		WASHINGTON (CNN) -- NASA's Lunar Prospector is believed to have crashed onto the surface of the moon early Saturday morning, a NASA spokesman said.
		Last year, early in Lunar Prospector's moon mapping expedition, scientists said they found indications of moon water lurking in countless dots of ice crystals sprinkled throughout the lunar surface.
		Crashing the spent Lunar Prospector into a frozen crater "is really a tricky maneuver," said David Folta, head of the NASA team controlling the guidance of Lunar Prospector.

	Lunar Prospector Crash Fails to Liberate Moon Water
		Oct 13, 1999: The controlled crash of NASA's Lunar Prospector spacecraft into a crater near the south pole of the Moon on July 31 produced no observable signature of water, according to scientists digging through data from Earth- based observatories and spacecraft such as the Hubble Space Telescope.
		NASA accepted the team's proposal based on successful scientific peer review of the idea and the pending end of the spacecraft's useful life, although the chances of positive detection of water were judged to be less than 10 percent.
		Lunar Prospector was launched on Jan. 6, 1998, from Cape Canaveral Air Station, FL, aboard an Athena 2 rocket.

	Scientists still seeking signs of water from Lunar Prospector crash
		Lunar Prospector failed to kick up a visible dust cloud when it crashed into the Moon, but researchers are still sifting through their data for elusive signatures of water.
		Despite the widespread interest in seeing the ejecta from Prospector's crash, scientists say that detecting a visible plume of mainly lunar dust and spacecraft debris was not critical to the hunt for water.
		Prospector's impact would have had enough energy to vaporize water ice, and possibly create a detectable vaporous cloud, but not enough energy to separate the water from minerals.
