NASA launched the $504 million LRO probe in June 2009 along with a piggyback probe that crashed into the shadows of a crater at the moon's south pole in October of that year in a hunt for water ice, which it found. The spacecraft is about the size of a Mini Cooper car and equipped with seven instruments to observe the moon.
