The Moon crater Cabeus A has been named as the impact site for the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) on the 9th October 2009. The site has been picked because it is optimal for volume and predictability of ejected material, concentration of Neutron emissions (which is an indicator for Hydrogen which increases the likelihood of water molecules) and permanent shading from the Sun.
