Where no ice was seen before: Team designs lunar satellite tools to hunt for water

ORLANDO, Fla. -- When Kerri Donaldson Hanna looks at the full moon she sees a future full of opportunity.

It holds a lot of what’s possible for our future. We’ve been there, but what else can we do?”

Hanna and a research team of UCF students are working to print a map of possibilities by creating spectral instruments for a NASA satellite capable of scanning and producing high-resolution maps of water on the moon.
