Russian scientists have revealed the existence of 30 water-rich regions on Mars, including sites where the water content approaches 100%, based on analyses of data from the FREND instrument aboard the European-Russian ExoMars-TGO spacecraft over eight years. The findings show an increase in the number of known "water oases" from 23 to about 30, with more precise location identification, and an increase in estimated water content in some areas from 20% to 30%. These results suggest the presence of materials rich in hydrogen associated with frozen water or minerals containing water, rather than necessarily liquid lakes. There is also a potential presence of ice at deeper levels, which is an important target for future missions aimed at resource utilization for human exploration.
