Chandrayaan-1's Mini-SAR radar was one of two instruments involving NASA on India's Chandrayan-1 spacecraft. The probe also carried the Moon Mineralogy Mapper for NASA. A version of Mini-SAR, called Mini-RF, is riding on NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.
India launched Chandrayaan-1 probe in October 2008 and carried 11 instruments to observe the moon from lunar orbit. It was India's first moon probe and carried an impactor probe that it unleashed in November 2008.

The US space agency’s (Nasa) Mini-Sar experiment found more than 40 small craters containing water ice.
probably got there by comet bombardment

Fits in very nicely with Dr. Walt Brown’s hydroplate theory. See part II of creationscience.com for more info regarding his theory.

I’m somewhat skeptical about this. If you take water, freeze it and put it in a vacumn (like on the moon), it quickly sublimes away. I remember the words of an old professor when I showed him a scientific paper from India where they had gotten something to work that many others had tried and failed to do. His response was “Everything works in India”.

Are sea levels on the moon rising as rapidly as they are here?

The Indians found ice & water on the moon...? Well, of course. You need ice water for all that spicy curry they found there, too....

Remember, these are the same ‘scientists’ that “found” ‘global warming’ on the earth! I recommend healthy skepticism for anyone planning to ‘buy real estate’ on the moon.

There may be more than 600 million metric tons of water ice sitting in craters at the moon’s north pole.
So in American, thats like what ...
25 gallons?
