GUWAHATI: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is leaving no stone unturned in its effort to establish contact with Chandrayaan 2’s ‘Vikram’ lander, which is presently lying on the moon’s surface in a tilted position after a hard landing.
An ISRO official associated with the mission informed that Vikram lander had a hard-landing based on the images sent by the on-board camera of the orbiter. The lander has touched down on the lunar surface in a single piece and is not broken.

The official added that the mission’s team is putting in all of their efforts to try and re-establish connection with the lander.
Earlier on Saturday, September 7, ISRO Chairman K Sivan said that the space agency would try to restore link with the lander for 14 days.
In the early hours of September 7, lander Vikram hit the lunar surface and communication with ground staff was lost during its final descent, just 2.1 km above the lunar surface.
