India missed the discovery of water molecules on the Moon

Among all Indian civilian research agencies , ISRO is probably the organization that raises the most pride in India , is international recognition , its launch complex is used by many foreign countries and launch costs are very low. In addition, the ISRO has always allied other scientific fields to all its projects.
One of the best evidence of the confidence of Indians in their program and perhaps the failure to take insurance for the mission Chandrayaan 1 launched October 22, 2008 . On 14 November, he entered the final phase of its latest operational orbit at a distance of 100 km of the moon . The same day the Moon was launched Impact Probe ( MIP ) it struck the south pole of the moon. Chandrayaan contained 11 measurement instruments, five Indian, three from ESA (European Space Agency ) 2 and 1 Bulgarian American .
The most dramatic scientific discoveries have been made by the U.S. measuring instruments , the Moon Mineralogy Mapper ( M3) and Miniature Synthetic Aperture Radar ( Mini SAR ) . These measuring instruments have provided the first evidence to prove the presence of water molecules on the moon. The analysis of measurements collected by the M3 has been entrusted to Carle Pieters who published the results of the analysis in Science Magazine October 23, 2009 .
The results for the measures taken by the mini – SAR was submitted for publication in Geophysical Research Letters Spudis at December 22 , accepted February 22, 2010 and published March 31, 2010 . The Americans have acknowledged the role played by India in their discovery MIP (Moon Impact Probe ) also contained an instrument measuring the CHACE (Chandra ‘s altitudinal Composition Explorer ), during the 25 minute descent to the moon , this tool allows acquire data proving the existence of water molecules . A team of Indian scientists has submitted its publication in the journal Science in December 2008 which was dismissed in March 2009 . The authors then tried to publish this article in Nature in April 2009 which was ultimately dismissed in June 2009. Finally , in November 2009, a paper with as lead author R. Sridharan has been sent to a scientific journal which after minor revision January 2010 accepted its publication in February 2010.Cet article was finally available online in March 2010 and published in May 2010 . The timely publication of these articles have deprived India of the primacy of these discoveries …
ISRO should have become aware of the importance of these findings and publish a first draft of a newspaper article or on less prestigious or even on its website which would have given the primacy of discovery.
