Target entity: LCROSS
Context triple: [lunar south polar region, isTargetOfMission, LCROSS]
  • A. Luna spacecraft
    The Luna spacecraft were a series of Soviet robotic probes launched between the late 1950s and 1970s that achieved many lunar exploration firsts, including the first human-made object to reach the Moon and the first soft landing on its surface.
  • B. Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter
    Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter is a NASA robotic spacecraft launched in 2009 to map the Moon’s surface in high detail and search for resources such as water ice.
  • C. Lunar Prospector
    Lunar Prospector was a NASA lunar orbiter mission that mapped the Moon’s surface composition and gravity field and provided strong evidence for the presence of water ice at the lunar poles.
  • D. Moon Impact Probe
    The Moon Impact Probe was a small Indian lunar probe designed to detach from the Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft and intentionally crash onto the Moon’s surface to conduct scientific measurements and demonstrate landing technologies.
  • E. Ranger spacecraft
    The Ranger spacecraft is a fictional advanced space vehicle featured in the film "Interstellar," used for planetary exploration and piloted by astronaut Joseph Cooper.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
