It became clear now that polar regions of the Moon are quite different from in-situ inspected Moon at mod-erate latitudes. The main signature of “New Polar Moon” is the presence of rather high content of water and another volatiles in the polar regolith. The first possible detection of water ice in polar craters has been claimed by the radar team of Clementine mission, but this result was not supported later on by ground radar measurements. Non-direct evidence for the presence of water ice in polar regolith was provided by Lunar Prospector Neutron Spectrometer (LPNS), as extended suppressions of neutrons emission around lunar poles.
