India loses contact with Chandrayaan-2 moon lander: What now? | DW News

India's Chandrayaan 2 mission set out in July to explore the uncharted territory of the lunar south pole. But shortly before the scheduled touchdown, the ISRO space center in Bangalore lost contact with the Vikram lander. Now mission control is trying to figure out whether the spacecraft crashed, or landed while no one was watching.

I'd say it is a 95% success, a tremendous development, particularly when one looks at it from a historical point of view, and compare it to the recent Israeli failed moon mission. Great achievement, India!

It's not a failure. Many things can go wrong. Just simply try again. Great job India. America loves India and you will have 100% success next time.

Greetings from Bangladesh. Any failure in space exploration is still a progress, a limitation to keep in check to modify for future missions. It's not a total disaster. Getting close to the moon is still an achievement.
