Scientists first determined the distribution of water on the surface of the moon and under it, using the data collected by the Chinese lunar probe “Chan-6”. Sinhua.
Research in the journal Nature Astronomy confirmed the role Solar wind and shock-explosive loosening in the formation and movement of water on the lunar surface.
Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with colleagues from the University of Hawaii, analyzed the data received at the site of the Chan-6 landing site. They found that the areas disturbed by the engine jets demonstrate various temperature models and water content models due to the redistribution of small regolithic.
The jets of the landing module were shifted and revealed the regolite the size of a millimeter to a centimeter during the descent, giving a rare opportunity to study subsurrent water.
Based on the results of measurements, the average water content in a small subsidiary regolitis of a small underlying layer is approximately 76 parts per million (PPM), which is lower than on the surface, which appeared at about 105 PPM.
In addition, the location of Chane-6 contains an average of about twice as much water than the location of the Chan-5-in other words, the reverse side of the moon is moister than visible, although the analysis of the samples gave The opposite result.
The Mission of Chan-6 in 2024 carried out the first sample of the South Pole in the history of mankind-Eitken on the back of the moon. The Chan-5 probe landed in 2020 in the northwestern region of the Ocean of the Storms.
It also turned out that in the same place, humidity depends on the time of day, decreasing to a minimum to the local noon.
Differences in the content of water correlate with an abundance of glass in the regolithic, particle size, depth and local time, which confirms the hypothesis of the influence of solar winds and shock explosive loosening on the formation and distribution of moon water.
The fine -grained regolite on the surface of the moon and directly under it can be the main goal for the future use of lunar water resources, is the study.
