How data science is helping astronauts prospect for lunar ice

The moon will once again play a crucial role in the space race, but this time as the gatekeeper to the solar system, acting as a link in the planetary supply chain.  Ice deposits found in shadowed craters near the poles can act as resource wells for visiting astronauts, providing not only drinking water for humans and crops, but the key component needed to create rocket fuel.  By manufacturing propellant...
