Which Indian space mission provided strong evidence for the presence of water molecules on the Moon, reviving global interest in lunar water?

Explanation

Chandrayaan-1, launched by ISRO in 2008, was India’s first lunar mission. Data from its Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M³) instrument, along with other instruments, detected water molecules on the lunar surface. This discovery revived global scientific interest in the presence of water on the Moon and its implications for future exploration. Chandrayaan-1 also helped in creating a high-resolution map of the Moon and studying its mineral composition, marking a major milestone in India’s space programme.
