NASA is announcing a dramatic mission to bomb the moon, named LCROSS Mission.
This Moon Bombing Mission will be broadcast on a Live NASA TV Broadcast (www.nasa.gov/ntv), which will start at 6:15 a.m. EDT/3:15 a.m. PDT on 9th October 2009.
The LCROSS, Lunar CRater Observing and Sensing Satellite, mission will send a missile traveling at twice the speed of a bullet to blast a hole in lunar surface near the moon’s South pole.
NASA is carryying out this mission to see if any water, ice or vapor is revealed in the cloud of debris. The bombing isn’t an act of hostility: it’s all part of our search for water in space, says NASA.
Scientists expect the impact of the powerful Centaur rocket would release a huge plume of moon dust and debris. The moon dust blast should be large enough for amateur scientists to view from Earth through telescopes 10-to-12 inches and larger, says NASA.
