...signs of water ice on the moon, as well as help study the irregular lunar gravity field, caused by dense concentrations of mass beneath the surface--the geological equivalent of lumps in oatmeal. Most dramatically, it will collect detailed images of all six Apollo landing sites, which have stood unseen for close to 40 years. "LRO's job is to open up the lunar frontier," says Jim Garvin, chief scientist at Goddard's Space Flight Center, where the craft is being assembled.

He builds a rapport with the tiny planet's resident scientist, Dr. Hoovey, who is having just as much trouble convincing his villagers that there's a giant outside force, unseen but benevolent, that will determine their future...
...addition to collecting particles for analysis in an ion and neutral mass spectrometer, and a cosmic dust analyzer, Cassini will photograph yet unseen parts near the moon's south pole. It will also use infrared technology to create a comprehensive map of surface temperatures at the south pole. Warmer temperatures increase the likelihood that there is water in liquid form on the small moon...
