1. Chandrayaan-1
Moon Mineralogy Mapper, or M3 ("M-cubed"), aboard the Indian Space Research Organization's Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft.
Moon Mineralogy Mapper - Instrument
"The Moon Mineralogy Mapper is an imaging spectrometer with high spectral and spatial resolution, reliably uniform results, and a high signal-to-noise ratio.
The images produced by M3 can be thought of as a cube of information. The width is 600 pixels (each of which has a spatial resolution of 70 m at the instrument's altitude of 100 km), the length is an infinite strip along the spacecraft's orbital path (or wherever one chooses to "crop" the picture for an individual study), and the depth is 261 spectral channels.
The instrument will detect electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths from 430 to 3000 nanometers (0.43 to 3 microns), which covers visible light and the near-infrared. (Unlike previous lunar spectrometers, M3 will include the range from 2.5 to 3 microns, which is uniquely a marker for small amounts of OH and H2O.) "

Water molecules and hydroxyl previously were suspected in data from a Cassini flyby of the Moon in 1999, but the findings were not published until now.

http://epoxi.umd.edu/2science/hydratedmoon.shtml
The Deep Impact observations of the Moon not only unequivocally confirm the presence of OH/H2O on the lunar surface, but also reveal that the entire lunar surface is hydrated during at least some portions of the lunar day," write University of Maryland astronomer Jessica Sunshine and co-authors in a paper on the Deep Impact data published online in the September 24 issue of the journal Science.

Epoxi
For additional confirmation, scientists turned to the Epoxi mission while it was flying past the Moon in June 2009 on its way to a November 2010 encounter with comet Hartley 2. The spacecraft not only confirmed the VIMS and M3 findings, but also expanded on them.

Forty years later, a team of scientists including Larry Taylor of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, has found evidence that the old assumption may be wrong.
"To some extent, we were fooled," said Taylor, a distinguished professor of earth and planetary sciences, who has studied the moon since the original Apollo missions. "Since the boxes leaked, we just assumed the water we found was from contamination with terrestrial air."

Water Molecules Found on the Moon
"The data from Cassini's VIMS instrument and M3 closely agree," said Roger Clark, a U.S. Geological Survey scientist in Denver and member of both the VIMS and M3 teams."

Deep Impact のHigh Resolution Instrument (HRI)
1. Chandrayaan-1
Moon Mineralogy Mapper, or M3 ("M-cubed"), aboard the Indian Space Research Organization's Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft.
Moon Mineralogy Mapper - Instrument
"The Moon Mineralogy Mapper is an imaging spectrometer with high spectral and spatial resolution, reliably uniform results, and a high signal-to-noise ratio.
The images produced by M3 can be thought of as a cube of information. The width is 600 pixels (each of which has a spatial resolution of 70 m at the instrument's altitude of 100 km), the length is an infinite strip along the spacecraft's orbital path (or wherever one chooses to "crop" the picture for an individual study), and the depth is 261 spectral channels.
The instrument will detect electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths from 430 to 3000 nanometers (0.43 to 3 microns), which covers visible light and the near-infrared. (Unlike previous lunar spectrometers, M3 will include the range from 2.5 to 3 microns, which is uniquely a marker for small amounts of OH and H2O.) "

Water molecules and hydroxyl previously were suspected in data from a Cassini flyby of the Moon in 1999, but the findings were not published until now.

The Deep Impact observations of the Moon not only unequivocally confirm the presence of OH/H2O on the lunar surface, but also reveal that the entire lunar surface is hydrated during at least some portions of the lunar day," write University of Maryland astronomer Jessica Sunshine and co-authors in a paper on the Deep Impact data published online in the September 24 issue of the journal Science.

For additional confirmation, scientists turned to the Epoxi mission while it was flying past the Moon in June 2009 on its way to a November 2010 encounter with comet Hartley 2. The spacecraft not only confirmed the VIMS and M3 findings, but also expanded on them.

"To some extent, we were fooled," said Taylor, a distinguished professor of earth and planetary sciences, who has studied the moon since the original Apollo missions. "Since the boxes leaked, we just assumed the water we found was from contamination with terrestrial air."

NASA Instruments Reveal Water Molecules on Lunar Surface

Moon Mineralogy Mapper, or M3 ("M-cubed"),

Water Molecules Found on the Moon
"The data from Cassini's VIMS instrument and M3 closely agree," said Roger Clark, a U.S. Geological Survey scientist in Denver and member of both the VIMS and M3 teams."

1. Chandrayaan-1
Moon Mineralogy Mapper, or M3 ("M-cubed"), aboard the Indian Space Research Organization's Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft.
Moon Mineralogy Mapper - Instrument
"The Moon Mineralogy Mapper is an imaging spectrometer with high spectral and spatial resolution, reliably uniform results, and a high signal-to-noise ratio.
The images produced by M3 can be thought of as a cube of information. The width is 600 pixels (each of which has a spatial resolution of 70 m at the instrument's altitude of 100 km), the length is an infinite strip along the spacecraft's orbital path (or wherever one chooses to "crop" the picture for an individual study), and the depth is 261 spectral channels.
The instrument will detect electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths from 430 to 3000 nanometers (0.43 to 3 microns), which covers visible light and the near-infrared. (Unlike previous lunar spectrometers, M3 will include the range from 2.5 to 3 microns, which is uniquely a marker for small amounts of OH and H2O.) "

2. Cassini
Water molecules and hydroxyl previously were suspected in data from a Cassini flyby of the Moon in 1999, but the findings were not published until now.

EPOXI Mission - Science: Deep Impact spacecraft observed water and water of hydration on the surface of the Moon!
http://epoxi.umd.edu/2science/hydratedmoon.shtml
The Deep Impact observations of the Moon not only unequivocally confirm the presence of OH/H2O on the lunar surface, but also reveal that the entire lunar surface is hydrated during at least some portions of the lunar day," write University of Maryland astronomer Jessica Sunshine and co-authors in a paper on the Deep Impact data published online in the September 24 issue of the journal Science.

Epoxi
For additional confirmation, scientists turned to the Epoxi mission while it was flying past the Moon in June 2009 on its way to a November 2010 encounter with comet Hartley 2. The spacecraft not only confirmed the VIMS and M3 findings, but also expanded on them.

40年前には判るはずもないこと、
その後の月探査はもっと進展していた、ということにはならない・・・
Forty years later, a team of scientists including Larry Taylor of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, has found evidence that the old assumption may be wrong.
"To some extent, we were fooled," said Taylor, a distinguished professor of earth and planetary sciences, who has studied the moon since the original Apollo missions. "Since the boxes leaked, we just assumed the water we found was from contamination with terrestrial air."

"「チャンドラヤーン1号」に搭載された装置M3(Moon Mineralogy Mapper)を用いて。
水素が「太陽風」と呼ばれる現象で飛来してきた可能性があるという。太陽風は、太陽で核融合が起きる際に太陽から放出される水素イオン(H+)原子を主な成分としている
M3と同様の機器を使用したほかの2つの調査でも、水の存在を示す化学的な特徴が発見された。
1つは、約10年前に土星へ向かう途中、月の付近を通過した土星探査機カッシーニCassiniから得られたデータ
もう1つは、2005年に彗星「Tempel-1」に向けて発射された彗星探査機ディープインパクトDeep Impactからのデータ。ディープインパクトはM3同様の装置を用いて、月の付近を通過する際にデータを収集していた"
