    On March 13, 2008, the International Space Station passed across the field-of-view of Germany's remote sensing satellite, TerraSAR-X, at a distance of 195 kilometers, or 122 miles, and at a relative speed of 34,540 kilometers per hour, or more than 22,000 mph. In contrast to optical cameras, radar does not 'see' surfaces. Instead, it is much more aware of the edges and corners which bounce back the microwave signal it transmits. Smooth surfaces such as those on the station's solar generators or the radiator panels used to dissipate excess heat, unless directly facing the radar antenna, tend to deflect rather than reflect the radar beam, causing these features to appear on the radar image as dark areas. The radar image of the station therefore looks like a dense collection of bright spots from which the outlines of the space station can be clearly identified. The central element on the station, to which all the modules are docked, has a grid structure that presents a multiplicity of reflecting surfaces to the radar beam, making it readily identifiable. This image has a resolution of about one meter (about 39 inches). In other words, objects can be depicted as discrete units--that is, shown separately--provided that they are at least one meter apart. If they are closer together than that, they tend to merge into a single block on a radar image. Since this image was taken, the station has expanded and is more than 90 percent complete, including a full complement of solar arrays. Image Credit: DLR

Water On The Moon

What Is The Significance Of Finding Water On The Moon?

Their have been many recent reports of finding traces of minor light amounts of water on the moon mostly towards the polar caps. The traces of water on the moon are believed to be trapped among the glass and minerals just below the moons surface. If water really is discovered to even slightly to significantly exist on the moon this will have drastic positive impacts on the future plans which involve the moon such as colonization and other space related projects, possibly even life previously existing on the moon.

How does the existence of water on the moon impact the possibility of creating a colonization on the moon?

Within the next 20 years it was planned by higher orders of the government to begin a project to achieve a human colonization on the surface of the moon. Although rumors now exist that some of the officials which now work under Obama instead of previous presidents now plan to postpone possibly even stop this future project but little clarification has been stated. If water is discovered to exist on the moon this will actually help ensure people and make the colonization project much easier to achieve than planned. This is because the existence of water on the moon if significant enough or capable of being built significant enough will help to achieve clean drinking water, plant growth and irrigation, leading to significant releases of oxygen and and hydrogen for life to breathe into the atmosphere. This will allow the future existence of life on the moon to flourish and live successfully.

Another positive impact of water being discovered on the moon, would mean that explorations which were conducted by India were actually the first explorations which discovered the existence of water on the moon. This will create a sense of accomplishment in India and put India higher into the charts of having a major impact on the growth and future of human existence. This may encourage other countries which took little part in the economic growth of the world wide society to take more of a step forward and work together in creating a better world for humanity. Which would be a very significant goal to reach and very possibly pushed forward by the discovery of water on the moon.

How exactly was the existence of water on the moon legitimately clarified?

Although many different journeys into space had detected the existence of water on the moon it was pretty vague as to whether samples brought back from the moon to earth with significant evidence of water in its contents were water from the moon or water from the actual moon.

The invention of a machine changed the above points about being unable to differentiate the earths H20 from the actual H20 which originated from the samples from the moon. This machine is known as The NanoSims, this machine can see up to one micrometer of a specimens makeup externally and found significant contents of H20 in the make-up of the materials received from samples taken from the moon.

This means that the existence of water on the moon is officially clarified and it is simply further steps to on moon development from here. Hopefully this will lead to all of the above expected benefits which will be achieved now upon the discovery of the existence of water on the moon. The only thing we are waiting for now is for the government to decide exactly what the next move will potentially be when in terms of preparations for colonizing the moon.
