As I posted a few days earlier, there is a Moon Crash set to take place in early 2009. This article, discusses the mission a little more in depth and details the briefing that took place on Friday, February 29, concerning the planned mission.
The briefing is part of the LCROSS Astronomer Workshop, which focuses on collaboration among NASA experts and professional astronomers on techniques for observing the debris plume that will be created when LCROSS hits the surface of the moon in early 2009. The objective of the mission is to detect possible water on the moon. Future mission activities will engage the amateur astronomy community, students and the public using ground-based and space-based telescopes.
