That is all folks.ĭoordarshan yanked the coverage. Official confirmation: Descent up to 2.1 km altitude optimal then signal to lander was lost. Some encouraging words by Indian Prime Minister. With live coverage wrapped up, according to The Wire feed media has been told to wait for update in 15-20 minutes. Subsequently communication from lander to the ground stations was lost. Vikram Lander descent was as planned and normal performance was observed up to an altitude of 2.1 km. No new details: This is Mission Control Centre. Lander located on lunar surface, condition yet to be ascertained.Īnother update mentioning loss of communication with lander but no specifics. Orbiter payloads powered up and performing nominally, committee constituted to investigate loss of communication with Vikram lander. Lander crash landed potentially within 500 meters of intended landing site. Velocity reduction during 'Rough braking phase' was more than expected causing deviations leading to crash.
