NASA scientists, while studying data generated M3 (NASA’s Moon Mineralogy Mapper) has directly observed “definitive evidence” of water ice on the Moon’s surface.
About:
The Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) is one of two instruments that NASA contributed to Chandrayaan-1 (India's first mission to the moon), the other being Mini-SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar).
It is an imaging spectrometer that provided the first mineralogical map of the lunar surface (a high-resolution spatial and spectral map revealing the minerals of which lunar surface is made).
In 2009, it made one of its biggest discoveries when it found water molecules in the polar regions of the moon.
