Abstract The study of water ice on the moon is related not only to the formation and evolution of the moon but also to the utilization of lunar resources and the problem whether human beings can go into the depth of the universe with the help of the moon. This paper reviewed the progress of lunar water ice exploration and summarized the research status both in China and abroad. The authors analyzed some impact craters in the north moon and discussed whether there exists water ice or not by means of the polarization synthetic aperture Radar,the data of miniature radio frequency(Mini-RF)and the characters of polarization SAR as well as the reflection of water ice. The Mini-RF CPR data analysis reveals that the north-pole of the moon probably contains water ice,but the water quantity and the mode of occurrence require further investigation.
