Retd scientist says ISRO to find why Vikram Lander failed to land on moon

ISRO (Indian Research Organization) will simulate various scenarios to find out why Vikram Lander failed to land smoothly on moon's surface, a retired senior ISRO official said. According to him, ISRO has to see wher any simulation prior to launch was overlooked. simulation will include what it had t done and what it had assumed to arrive at probable cause of its moon lander Vikram hitting lunar surface after veering away from its plotted path and losing communication. On September 7, Vikram Lander made a crash landing on Moon's south polar region and lost all communication.

NASA trying to communicate with Vikram Lander

In a bid to help ISRO communicate with 'Vikram Lander' which is currently on lunar surface, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), on Friday, began sending radio signals to Vikram Lander, as revealed by Astromer Scott Tilley. As shared by Tilley in a series of tweets, NASA's Deep Network (DSN) has been beaming radio frequency to Vikram Lander. ISRO too is constantly trying to establish communication with Vikram through its Indian Deep Network (IDSN) at Byalalu near Bengaluru. Tilley has also reported about health of Chandrayaan 2 Orbiter which is currently orbiting moon around 100km from surface. This is being currently monitored by Tilley's own lab.
