What happend with India's  moon  lander ?

7 September 1:53 IST  was the expected date when India's unmanned  space craft had to land on the south pole of the lunar surface and aiming to become fourth country to land softly on lunar surface , But at he final manuver of landing somthing went wrong  . Radio Communication was lost with Lander vikram ( 4 payload )  befor 400 meters touching the lunar surface . Let's see what went wrong with Chandrayaan 2 ? Why Vikram did not landed softly ? What happend with pragyaan rover ? What ISRO will do next ?


Chandrayaan 2 was India's second moon  , Total cost of the misssion was 144m $ . Chandrayaan 2 was uncrewed space craft having 3 modules .
1. Orbiter
2. Lander ( Vikram )
3. Rover  ( pragyan )
Moon's south pole has - 150 degree temp . In my opinion Temprature was the major issue during landing . All the instruments were made from  semi conductor material . According to Global times China in the South pole region a huge amount of chareged particles are moving in the lower atmosphere of moon this can be one of the reason of communication lost .
ISRO twitted about the postion of vikram lander " Maybe it landed crashly but now is in one peace and will try to communicate for next 14 lunar days" .
Viram spotted in tilted position away from the actual landing site by the orbiter .
ISRO  officials said , " Mission is 95 % succesful , Orbiter is doing it's work properly " .

Overall India did great in it's first attempt , we salute their effort to touch the untouched soid of moon in human history .
In 2024 Chandrayaan 3 is planned and this time with JAXA .
