ISRO says moon lander Vikram located by Orbiter

Chandrayaan-2's lander Vikram has been located on the moon's surface by its lunar orbiter. ISRO confirmed the same via a tweet from the official account, adding that 'all possible efforts were being made to re-establish contact'.

Chennai: The Indian space agency on Tuesday reiterated that its moon lander Vikram has been located by the Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter.

"#VikramLander has been located by the orbiter of #Chandrayaan2, but no communication with it yet," the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) tweeted.

"All possible efforts are being made to establish communication with the lander," ISRO said.

The ISRO did not, however, say in what condition the lander is on the lunar surface.

The space agency continues to remain silent as to the proximate cause for the moon lander tumbling and deviating from its original flight path on September 7 early morning.
