Caption: Figure 10.
The red circle shows the extent of the one-hop exospheric water released from a topside water deposit located at 89°S, 90°W (as an example). Starship exospheric water from the topside deposit can access many cold polar locations including the floor of Shackleton, Shoemaker, and Haworth craters.
