Land  

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has located the exact location of the Vikram lander using Optical High Resolution Camera (OHRC). The organisation is trying to establish contact with the lander.

Just For Laughs on MyNation points out the huge difference between the tears shed by ISRO chief K Sivan after the failure of Vikram Lander module of Chandrayaan-2 and the crocodile tears shed by politicians.

 

Addressing the media, the spokesperson of Bahamas prime minister said that the death toll reached 43 and is expected to grow significantly in the next few days.

Taking to Twitter, NASA lauded the ISRO team of India and said, "You have inspired us with your journey and look forward to future opportunities to explore our solar system together."

While the lander part of Chandrayaan2, Vikram, remains incommunicado, the Orbiter is in perfect health. Though the landing may not have taken place, India has been 95% successful in sending its mission to moon

While ISRO wonders why lander lost contact, Congress MLA UT Khader has opined that Russia may have played a role in it.  

 The nation rises in support of Indian scientists of ISRO and its mission Chandrayaan-2 after its plan to soft land Vikram near the moon's south pole did not go as per script. It's not just Prime Minister Modi, but citizens and celebrities from the world of cinema and sports have come together to say they are proud of ISRO.

While India rejoices in its space glory, its neighbour Pakistan continues to tease it over the communication lost by the Lander. Twitterati lampooned, lambasted and mocked the country that exports terror and does nothing beyond it. 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the scientists of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) after Vikram lost contact 2.1 kilometres before it was supposed to land on the lunar south pole 

The much awaited moment of Chandrayaan 2’s moon landing was met with bated breath and a deafening silence as ISRO broke the news that they had lost contact with the lander - Vikram. Prime Minister Modi has extended his support to the scientists and will address the nation at 8 am. 

PM Narendra Modi to scientists at ISRO: “There are ups and downs in life. This is by no means a small achievement. The nation swells with pride. This is indeed great service to the nation, science and mankind. I am with you.”

A successful landing will make India the fourth country (after Russia, US and China) to achieve a soft landing on the moon.

As the world is watching Chandrayaan-2, reports claim that the Indian Air Force has selected level-1 candidates for Mission Gaganyaan. Out of the 10 selected astronauts, two are likely to be selected.  

 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi would reach Bengaluru to witness live Chandrayaan-2 landing. Catch the top headlines from across the country on MyNation in 100 seconds.
