NASA said Friday's rocket and satellite strike on the moon was a success, kicking up enough dust for scientists to decide whether or not there is water on the moon.
"We have the data we need to really address the questions we set out to address," said Anthony Colaprete, principal researcher for the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, or LCROSS, mission.
It will be awhile before all the data from the satellite can be examine to determine if there is water on the moon, according to LCROSS project manager Dan Andrews.
Andrews said that "the spacecraft performed wonderfully." NASA crashed the rocket and a satellite into the moon's surface on Friday morning in a $79 million task.
NASA televised live images of the LCROSS as it crashed into a crater near the moon's south pole.
