Lander Vikram of Chandrayaan-2 made a successful rough breaking today, but in its final leg, communication was unfortunately lost.
ISRO Chief K Sivan, earlier tonight: Vikram Lander descent was as planned and normal performance was observed up to an altitude of 2.1 km. Subsequently, communication from Lander to the ground stations was lost. Data is being analyzed. https://t.co/Z9MIKPJYCX pic.twitter.com/DJawDHhHjp

Still hoping the communication comes back. In any case, this is way more than we as kids could ever imagine. Sure we will make it on that tide-maker someday very soon now. @isro ko 💓💓💓. #Chandrayaan2

With no country reaching this close to the South Pole of the moon, India has already scripted history.

To all the scientists at ISRO, the nation is proud of y’all and bow down in gratitude.
However let us still be positive. Hoping for the very best. 🙏#Chandrayaan2Landing
It is too early to tell what happened to #Vikram yet, but landing on the surface of another planet is very hard to do the first time. What we learn from each engineering activity is how to improve, refine, and adapt.
