A groundbreaking ISRO study reveals strong evidence of water ice hidden beneath the Moon’s polar craters. Using Chandrayaan mission data, scientists found sub-surface ice levels up to eight times higher than surface deposits — a major step toward understanding lunar resources. The discovery could redefine future Moon missions, from habitation plans to fuel generation.
