In this episode of SciLux, we have a closer look at lunar water with Dr. Veneranda López Días from the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST). We explore the parallels between the water cycles on Earth and the Moon, the various forms in which water exists on the lunar surface, and the scientific methods used to detect and analyse it.

Discover the intriguing theories about how water migrates on the Moon, the potential for future lunar missions, and the technological advancements required to extract and utilise this precious resource. From thermal extraction techniques to the challenges of conducting in situ analysis, this episode offers a comprehensive look at the current state of lunar water research and its implications for future space exploration.
