ISRO efforts to establish communication with Vikram

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has been making all efforts to establish communication with Vikram Lander, days after Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter located it on the Moon’s surface.

Taking to micro-blogging platform Twitter on Tuesday morning, ISRO updated that though the lander was located but no communication with it has been made yet. “Vikram Lander has been located by the orbiter of #Chandrayaan2, but no communication with it yet. All possible efforts are being made to establish communication with lander,” tweeted ISRO.

Vikram Lander was just 2.1 kilometres above the lunar surface when it lost contact with ISRO, throwing a pall of gloom over the Indian space agency, but Sunday’s development has rekindled hopes.

ISRO had released a statement on Saturday, a few hours after Vikram lander lost contact, stating that the Orbiter would continue with its mission. The perfect launch of Chandrayaan-2 and the technological capabilities developed by ISRO also ensured that the Orbiter’s life was now seven years and not just one year.
