Shanmuga Subramanian has claimed that Chandrayaan-2's rover Pragyan seems to be intact on the moon's surface and had rolled out a few meters from the lander

ISRO initially planned to release the report on major findings from Chandrayaan-2's science experiments at the Annual Lunar Planetary Science Conference in March this year

Bigger space mission under Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) get funds of their own. On the other hand, normal space launches are funded by the usual funds allocated to the space agency

The 628kg RISAT-2BR1 satellite is meant for applications in various fields like agriculture, forestry and disaster management support, as well as military purposes

ISRO says Chandrayaan 2's orbiter payload, in its first few days of observation, has detected charged particles and their intensity variations on the Moon's surface 

Lander Vikram lost communication with ISRO's ground station on September 7 during its final descent on the moon at 2.1 kms above the lunar surface.

The 2,379 kg orbiter of Chandrayaan 2, whose mission life was designed to be one year, would now be able function for almost seven years

Chandrayaan 2 lander Vikram is not broken and had a hard-landing very close to the planned landing site as per the images sent by the on-board camera of the orbiter, informed an ISRO official

Former NASA astronaut Jerry Linenger said that the lessons learnt from India's \"bold attempt\" to soft-land Chandrayaan-2's Vikram module on the lunar surface will help the country during its follow up missions

The Chandrayaan 2 Orbiter has sent thermal image of the Vikram lander, identifying its exact location on the Moon, says ISRO Chairman K Sivan

Lauding the team of scientists led by ISRO chief K Sivan, who was extremely disheartened after the mission setback, PM Modi said the best was yet to come

Two central government entities -  Central Tool Room and Training Centre (CTTC), Bhubaneswar and Institute for Design of Electrical Measuring Instruments (IDEMI), Mumbai - both the instituions had supported the Chandrayaan-2 Mission by way of supplying critical components and was betting high on the success of the mission

Communication from Chandrayaan-2's Vikram lander to ISRO's ground station was lost on Saturday, minutes before the touchdown on the lunar surface.

Chandrayaan-2 Landing: According to an ISRO scientist, the Orbiter is healthy, intact, functioning normally and safely in the Lunar orbit. The mission life of the 2,379-kg Orbiter is one year

All is not lost though, as the Orbiter that ferried lander Vikram and rover Pragyan to the Moon's orbit remains functional. As planned, it will continue to conduct remote-sensing observations from a 100km orbit for one year

Chandrayaan 2 Landing Live Updates: Communication from lander Vikram was lost 2.1 km was lost 2.1 km above the Moon's surface. The available data is being analysed, the space agency said
