Newsroom, Sept 8: After the Chandrayaan-2 setback, ISRO has located the Vikram lander on the lunar surface. However, communication hasn’t been established yet. ISRO Chairman K Sivan confirmed the news on 8 September, and said, “We are trying to have contact. Updates will be communicated soon.”
In the early hours of Saturday, communication from 'Vikram' lander to ground stations was lost when it was at an altitude of 2.1 kms from the lunar surface.
“We've found the location of Vikram Lander on lunar surface and the orbiter has clicked a thermal image of Lander. But there is no communication yet. We are trying to have contact. It will be communicated soon,” Mr Sivan said.
