Microwaving Moondust with COMSOL

In 1999, NASA’s Lunar Prospector revealed concentrated hydrogen signatures detected in permanently shadowed craters at the lunar poles. While scientists have long speculated about the source of vast quantities of hydrogen at the poles, recent discoveries made by NASA’s Lunar CRater Observing and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) are shedding new light on the question of water on the Moon.
