NASA launches satellite to uncover water on the moon's surface for future missions

NASA launched the Lunar Trailblazer satellite to map water deposits on the moon, focusing on permanently shadowed craters near the poles. Weighing 440 pounds, it uses advanced instruments to detect water and temperature variations. This mission aims to identify potential resources for future lunar missions and understand the moon's water, potentially shedding light on Earth's water history.
