ABSTRACT

Interest in the Moon has been steadily increasing since the beginning of the twenty-first century with the launch of Lunar Prospector, Clementine, LRO, SELENE detector, Chang’E-1/Chang’E-2, and Chandrayaan-1 (Jin, Arivazhagan, Araki 2013; Wei et al. 2013), particularly on the rear of the Moon and its polar regions. The problem of water and ice is one of the hot topics in current lunar science research (Neal 2009).
