"MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - The NASA Ames Research Center will direct at least four unmanned missions"

"A spacecraft [] will orbit the moon for at least a year to map its surface, paying particular attention to the south pole, where in 1998 scientists discovered signs of water.

A second robot craft [] will then attempt a precision landing near the south pole to hunt for possible water sources and flat areas safe enough for human landings."
