The Lunar Resources Data Purchase Act does not specify which frequncies in the 
spectra should be obtained by the government from private vendors; an
interagency group will determine what we need to determine if there is water
ice at the poles of the Moon.
 
However, video of the Moon is relatively expensive, and should be avoided if
we are to afford a mission any time soon.
 
There are instruments that are much more effective in locating water ice than 
video, than at a much lower cost.
 
However, I believe that it is possible for a vendor to mount a mission to the 
Moon, return the specified data to the government and carry a video camera to 
return detailed lunar data for re-sale to virtual reality companies in the
late 1990's - there be a market down the road for that stuff.
