For decades, scientists have been searching for the evidences of the presence of water on the lunar surface. On its landing on the Moon, Chandrayaan 1 confirmed the presence of water on the Moon.
The Moon Impact Probe on Chandrayaan 1 had discovered traces of water ice on the lunar surface. The Moon Mineralogy Mapper, another instrument in Chandrayaan 1’s payload detected absorption features on the lunar surface. This feature was more prominent in cooler high latitudes. The lunar scientists confirmed that the water on the Moon was scattered throughout its surface in sheets of ice and some water was locked up in minerals.
