Data from Chandrayaan-2's polarimetric radar indicates a significant discovery of water ice in lunar polar craters. The study, conducted by ISRO in collaboration with various institutions, suggests subsurface ice is 5 to 8 times larger than surface ice. The research attributes water distribution to Mare volcanism and crater impacts. This finding supports ISRO's future lunar exploration plans. Concurrently, China launches a lunar probe mission to collect samples from the moon's far side, marking a historic milestone in lunar exploration.
