The ice deposits are irregularly distributed and may possibly be old, according to the study.

New Delhi: India & # 39; s Chandrayaan 1 spacecraft helped NASA confirm the presence of frozen water deposits in the darkest and coldest parts of the moon. Chandrayaan 1 was the first lunar mission of India launched in 2008 by the Indian Space Research Organization. NASA & # 39; s Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) instrument, aboard the spaceship Chandrayaan 1, collected data that not only picked up the reflective properties of ice, but also was able to directly measure the distinctive way in which its molecules emit infrared light absorbing, so that it can distinguish between liquid water or vapor and solid ice. One of the objectives of Chandrayaan 1 is to design, develop, launch and turn a spacecraft around the moon around the earth.
