MOON FABRIC is going to have new missions focused on it in the coming years, and those from NASA have officially announced VIPER today, an extremely daring project that will have a major effect on the colonization of the Earth's satellite. VIPER is the acronym for Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover, meaning a robot that NASA will send to the south pole of the MOON to try to discover sources of water, be it ice cream.
MOON FABRIC it is being explored with the help of VIPER by NASA because the American space agency wants to discover if there is frozen water there that could be used by the astronauts who will colonize the satellite. NASA intends to send VIPER to the MOON in 2022, and for 100 days it will collect data that will be used by the Americans to determine how the astronauts will be able to use that water.

MOON FABRIC the south pole has not been explored by any space agency until now, and this in the conditions in which pictures were taken of almost the entire surface until now. VIPER will also have to create maps that NASA can use to direct the astronauts who will arrive on the MOON from 2024 to the areas from which they will be able to take water to use in the future colonies there.
"Since the confirmation of lunar water ice 10 years ago, the question now is whether the Moon could actually contain the amount of resources we need to live off-world. This rover will help us answer the many questions we have about where the water is and how much there is for us to use."
MOON FABRIC it will also have part of the surface composition analyzed by VIPER to see if there is anything new undiscovered by NASA following the moon landings already done. NASA confirmed 10 years ago that there is water on MOON FABRIC, and VIPER only has to tell us if it does not contain any bacteria that could harm the astronauts who will colonize the Earth's satellite and will need water to survive.
The MOON is to be colonized from 2024 by NASA in order to be able to send astronauts to the planet Mars, that is, somewhere after 2030, as you probably already know.
