The Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, or LCROSS will send an empty rocket part at 5,600 into the surface. Instruments on the satellite and telescopes on earth will study the dust plumes generated by the impact for signs of water. If there is more water than the thin amount of hydroxyl ions recently discovered, it should be obvious in the plumes.
