Only ˜3% of the cometary water was initially retained on the Moon after a 2 km diameter comet impact. Final retention rates of ˜0.1% of the comet mass were observed. ˜1 mm of ice accumulated in the cold traps after a 2 km diameter comet impact. Estimates for mass of water in cold traps over 1 Gyr consistent with observations.
