A new study led by scientists at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, shows that exhaust from a midsized lunar lander can quickly spread around the Moon and potentially contaminate scientifically vital ices at the lunar poles. Computer simulations of water vapor emitted by a 2,650-pound (1,200-kilogram) lander - about a quarter of the dry mass of the Apol
