A group of college students is hoping to place a satellite powered only by water into an orbit aroud the moon.

The students are from Cornell University in the state of New York. They are takking part in a compete team is called the CisLunar Explorers. The word cislunar means“between Eatrth and the –moon”.

“ flight-qualified , small satellites”. NASA official say the satellites must be able to perform “advanced operations near and beyond the moon”。

Ten teams are taking part in the competition. But the CisLunar Kxplorer satellites are the only ones using water to power their spaceceraft.

The craft is two connected satellites, both shaped like the English latter“ I”. Water is storel in the lower part of the satellite. The sun will separate the water into two elements： bydrogen and oxy-gen. When one combines hydrogen and oxygen with a spark (火花）. an explosion results. This pro-vides a forward movement, known as thrust.

Another cool thing about the CixLunar Explorer is how the team is teaching it to navigate its way through spare. The idea in to ropy how old-lime sailors used the moon,sun and stars to fix their posi-tion on the oceans. The satellite is equipped with cameras.
