The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) has managed to locate Vikram, the Chandrayaan-2 lander, on Moon’s surface a day after losing contact with the craft.<\/p>\n
However, Isro is yet to establish contact with Vikram; the space agency lost communications with the lander minutes before it was to land on near the south pole of the Moon on Saturday.<\/p>\n
According to sources, communication with the lander has not yet been established.<\/p>\n
The lander was located with the help of the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter, which remains safe and is revolving around the Moon. The orbiter managed to shoot a thermal image of the Vikram lander.<\/p>\n
In a TV\u00a0 interview, ISRO chief K Sivan said that the agency has managed to locate the lander using the orbiter and has attained a thermal image of it.<\/p>\n
Sources have informed that the Chandrayaan-2 team will investigate key datasets like final emissions and signals, last sets of sensor data to find out the reason behind the communication loss with Vikram lander.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
