M3 of Chandrayaan-1 gives evidence of Water Ice on Moon

A team of scientists led by researchers from the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) found the first direct evidence for the surface exposed water ice in permanently shaded regions (PSRs) of the Moon.

• The team analyzed data acquired by the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) onboard India’s Chandrayaan-1 mission launched in 2008.
