Nasa to bomb Moon to find water. This mission is nicknamed as Nasa LCROSS Impact or Nasa LCROSS Moon Bombing and this mission will confirm Chandrayaan- 1's discovery of water on Moon. A 2305 kilograms of Nasa spacecraft named as Centaur will travel at approx 9000 km per hour and crash land on Moon‘s South Pole. The crash landing or Moon explosion or Moon Bombing with such a massive force will throw up approximately 350 tonnes of lunar soil and derbis which is expected to rise approx 10 km.

After four minutes another Nasa spacecraft named as Shepherding will fly in the same path through the cloud of derbis created by Centaur and will also crash land on Moon. This spacecraft Shepherding is equipped with scientific instruments and cameras which will record every minute of Centaur's decent towards the Moon's surface and also its final impact. The critical data generated by Shepherding will be transferred instantly to Nassa's LCROSS mission control center for analysis.

The two spacecraft Centaur and Shepherding are a part of Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (in short known as LCROSS).

This Lcross Impact Mission can be viewed from Nasa website http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html
