LCROSS will search for water ice on the Moon by making two impacts into a crater named Cabeus A at the lunar South Pole. The impacts are scheduled for 11:30 am UT on 9 October 2009.<br \/>\nBjoern Grieger, the liaison scientist for SMART-1&#8217;s AMIE camera, and Project Scientist Bernard Foing have searched through SMART-1&#8217;s database for images of Cabeus A, taken four years ago at conditions where solar elevation and direction were similar to those of LCROSS impact. The SMART-1 image is at high resolution as the spacecraft was at its closest distance of 500 km from the South Pole. The SMART-1 image of the LCROSS target was discussed last week at lunar sessions of the European Planetary Science Congress (EPSC) in Potsdam, Germany. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spaceref.com\/news\/viewpr.html?pid=29250\">More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The European Space Agency&#8217;s SMART-1 team has released an image of the future impact site of NASA&#8217;s Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS).
