PRL Ahmedabad researchers use Chandrayaan-3 data to discover more accessible water ice on the moon, affecting future exploration and habitation strategies.

Higher latitudes on the moon with slopes facing the poles "are not only scientifically interesting but also pose less technical challenges for exploration in comparison with regions closer to the poles of the moon.

Future lunar missions may have an easier time extracting water ice than previously believed, thanks to new findings from India’s Chandrayaan-3 lander. The research suggests that certain high-latitude slopes on the Moon could provide more accessible reservoirs of ice,

Chandrayaan-3 has discovered potential widespread ice deposits beneath the Moon's surface, especially near the poles. Significant temperature variatio
