The subject of the work is the analysis of satellite data in the database “LROC: QuickMap.” The article focuses on water ice deposits which could be converted into hydrogen or oxygen, among other things, and later used as a rocket fuel. The distribution of water ice deposits on the Moon is presented and a micro-trap on the Moon’s south pole is proposed, which in the future could be an object for the exploration of water ice. An exit and descent route to the crater floor for the rover was also proposed, considering the degree of insolation and the degree of slope of the crater walls.
