ISRO study finds larger subsurface ice in Moon's polar craters, particularly in the north, emphasizing its importance for future missions.
ISRO's study reveals that the subsurface ice in the Moon's polar craters is about five to eight times larger than surface ice in both poles. The extent of water ice in the northern polar region is twice that of the southern. The study, conducted by ISRO and collaborators, indicates the importance of drilling on the Moon to access this ice for future missions and potential long-term human presence.
