Northrop Grumman Corp. delivered a scientific satellite to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida after it was developed at the company's Space Park facility in Redondo Beach.

The satellite known as LCROSS, for Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, will be launched on an Atlas V rocket this spring.

LCROSS will crash into the lunar surface in search of water ice or hydrated minerals that could sustain human habitation as NASA plans to create permanent lunar bases.
