What is the status of Chandrayaan 2?

Posted by Keshav Jain on


          After the Vikram lander had a crash landing, the ground control lost contact with it. For two weeks, both ISRO and NASA tried to locate it. Though it was later located by the orbiter of Chandrayaan 2, the communication hasn’t been restored. Efforts are made to establish communication with the lander.



          K Sivan, the chairman of ISRO had set up a Failure Analysis Committee to look into the causes of failure. This committee is headed by P S Goel, senior scientist at ISRO.



          The orbiter remains intact and is expected to remain functional for seven years. All the payloads in the orbiter remain operational and their initial trials were completed successfully. The orbiter continues to perform the scheduled scientific experiments.
