NASA for many years now has been deliberately trying to explore the universe with many technologies and new inventions. There have been many great discoveries also by the NASA. Many scientists dedicate their lives to know the unknown universe. There have been many expeditions by NASA for knowing and exploring the unknown universe around us. NASA to send us images and data about the other planets, moon, universe and many other heavenly bodies and stuffs have deployed many satellites.
One such satellite, the Chandrayaan-I was deployed in space to inspect and explore the moon. The Chandrayaan-I was a satellite that India launched some years ago. This satellite has radars that helped NASA receive important data and information. Scientists has discovered as many as forty or even more ice filled craters in the moon’s North pole using the data that was collected from the radar on chndrayaan-I of India. The craters range in size from two to fifteen kilometres. The NASA's Mini-SAR instrument, synthetic aperture radar, lightweight, was able to discover more than 40 small sized craters on the moon’s surface with water ice.
The findings on the moon will surely make the NASA scientists more eager to explore the moon and know even more about it. It is estimated that there could be as much as six hundred million metric tons of water ice in those craters on the moon’s surface.
The multiple measurements and resulting data of the instruments on lunar missions indicates that water creation, migration, deposition and retention are occurring on the moon, as said by a scientist and principle investigator of the Mini SAR experiment, Paul Spudis.

That is great! Ice on Moon is very much possible because it was once a part of one planet but it would be very encouraging to see if scientists can find out lots of amount of water on other planets necessary for life.
