The Indian area analysis Organisation (Isro) that's still inquiring the precise reason behind Chandrayaan-2 lander (Vikram) emergency landing on Moon currently has the image of the four-legged probe from
the exact location on the lunar surface.
"We've got the image of Vikram on the satellite surface from our equipment.
We area unit analysing the info," Isro chairman K Siwan told TOI.
Vikram, that was expected to land at concerning one.53am on Sept seven, deviated from the meant flight before going incommunicative, around 3 minutes before the expected landing.
The failure analysis committee (FAC) is wanting into what might have precisely caused Vikram's disorientation.
But initial indications, scientists told TOI point to a possible over performance of the thrust or a more than optimal horizontal velocity that could have caused the lander to spin out of control.
When Vikram went silent, Isro mission management probe for links from Nasa’s region network centre in national capital and therefore the Indian station in Mauritius.
“No signal from Vikram, no links from national capital or Mauritius,” the mission management had declared.
A senior scientist who is part of the mission told TOI(Times of India): "We have enough data available to do the analysis."
