• The Mars Odyssey Gamma-Ray Spectrometer Instrument Suite (2004, methodology): “The fluxes of epithermal neutrons measured by Lunar Prospector were used to infer the presence of H at the poles of the Moon (Feldman et al., 2001).”
• The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment (2010, background): “These data have been interpreted to be consistent with the presence of roughly 1.5% water-equivalent hydrogen in the uppermost ∼50 cm of the lunar regolith if concentrated in the floors of craters unresolved by the spectrometer’s footprint (Feldman et al. 2001).”
• Lunar resources (2014, methodology): “Indirect evidence for ice in permanently shadowed polar craters was provided by the neutron spectrometer on the Lunar Prospector Spacecraft (Feldman et al., 1998, 2001).”
