The aim is to crash projectiles at the lunar south pole, kicking up a six-mile high dust cloud that may contain water.

British researchers helped Nasa pick the spot for the attempt, which will be broadcast live on the American space agency's website.

The Cabeus south polar region was identified by the University of Durham team as a site with high concentrations of hydrogen - a key component of water.

It is believed water ice could lie at the bottom of dark craters at the Moon's poles, where temperatures are lower than minus 170C.

The spacecraft consist of a LCROSS (Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite) and its 2.2 tonne empty Centaur launch rocket.

  • Natürlich sieht das überhaupt nicht so aus und spektakulär ist das schon gar nicht. Wie wir wissen hat man gar nichts gesehen.

    Soviel zur "Berichterstattung" des ORF. Ist eben nur ein Massenverblödungsmedium mit staatlichem Auftrag.

    Die "Journalisten" dort beziehen ihre Informationen auch von Youtube, was? Also wieso sollte man sich das überhaupt noch in der Glotze ansehen?
