India's own Moon Impact Probe (MIP) on board the country's maiden lunar craft had discovered water on the moon, a finding confirmed by US space agency NASA's probe that was also aboard Chandrayaan-1, India's top space scientist G Madhavan Nair said here on Friday.

India's first lunar mission had made a path-breaking and real discovery by establishing the presence of water on the moon, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) chairman Nair said.
