Summary:

This work describes the ongoing development of an instrument package for the in-situ detection and isotopic analysis of water (from ice, icy soils, and hydrated minerals) on future lunar, asteroid, or martian exploration missions. This instrument is intended to be mounted on a robotic arm and be brought to the sample, rather than necessitating expensive and complicated sample handling to bring the sample to the instrument.
