A new study led by scientists at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, shows that exhaust from a mid-sized lunar lander can quickly spread around the Moon and potentially contaminate scientifically vital ices at the lunar poles.
Computer simulations of water vapor emitted by a 2,650-pound (1,200-kilogram) landerabout a quarter of the dry mass of the Apollo Lunar Moduletouching down near the Moon’s south pole showed exhaust takes only a few hours to disperse aro…
