Chandrayaan-2: Fourteen days or one lunar day is all that the Vikram lander has to do its job as that's the only period it will be exposed to the Sun's rays.

Chandrayaan 2: Lander Vikram's three payloads - RAMBHA, ChaSTE and ILSA - were scheduled to carry on a series of experiments including determining seismic activity, monitor temperature, measuring temporal evolution of lunar plasma density and more.

Tata Motors share price rose up to 8.2% intra day to Rs 131.90 compared to the previous close of Rs 121.90 on BSE.

Chandrayaan 2: Establishing contact with Vikram lander is really challenging, since a host of conditions need to be met.

Jaguar sales dropped 17.8 per cent y-o-y to 9,702 units in August, while Land Rover retailed 29,228 vehicles, down 1.4 per cent compared to August 2018

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 New York Times, The Washington Post, The BBC and The Guardian, among many other leading foreign media outlets, all carried stories on Chandrayaan-2, India's landmark moon mission

In the early hours of Saturday, Indian space agency ISRO's plan to soft land Chandrayaan-2's Vikram module on the lunar surface did not go as per script

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

Chandrayaan 2 landing: While the lander and rover would perform in-situ measurements near their landing site, the Orbiter will conduct remote-sensing observations from a 100 km orbit
