It is supposed to heat the Lunar soil with water vapor, which is obtained
by contact heating of the soil. According to published data, water in the form of ice makes up from 5% to 30% of the lunar soil by mass. The soil in cold traps is at a temperature of – 200 C and as a result heats up to 200 C and is ejected (not a closed contour along the ground).
