Chandrayaan-I data confirms presence of ice on Moon: Nasa

Data gathered by India's spacecraft Chandrayaan-1, launched a decade back, has confirmed the presence of frozen water deposits, aka ice, on the Moon's polar regions, according to NASA. The ice deposits, which are non-contiguous and thought to be extremely old, have raised hopes of their being used as a resource for future expeditions that could not only explore the Moon but also plan for a longer stay there. These frozen water deposits on the surface will be potentially easier to access than the water detected beneath the Moon's surface.
