A very good question Christian.
I've been wondering about this myself, but I haven't found the answer.
The answer will have to take into consideration that ice in a vacuum
doesn't have to melt in order to evaporate, it just has to sublimate.
My guess is, that sublimation can occur over a wide temperature range
but at varying rates.
Hope my two cents aren't made out of wood.

Hi friends,
Please forgive me that this question does not deal with meteorites
directly:
Preparing an article on the possibility of ice on the moon I wonder at what
temperature in vacuum water-ice melts and vaporizes.
I would appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance and best wishes
Christian
