Chandrayaan-2 lost its way late at night just 2.1 kilometers away from the moon. However, expectations are still maintained regarding this mission. An Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) official said that 95 percent of Chandrayaan 2’s mission has been successful so far, even after losing contact.

An ISRO official, on condition of anonymity, said, “The mission has lost only 5% of its land, with the remaining 95%, which is Chandrayaan 2 orbiter, successfully orbiting the moon.” ”

According to this officer, in one year’s mission life, this orbiter can take many pictures of the moon and send it to ISRO. The ISRO official said that the orbiter can find out about his position by taking pictures of the lander Vikram. The Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft consisted of three sections – the orbiter (2,379 kg, eight payloads), the lander ‘Vikram’ (1,471 kg, four payloads) and the rover ‘Pragyan’ (27 kg, two payloads). On 2 September, Vikram separated from the orbiter.

Chandrayaan-2 was placed in lunar orbit by ISRO after five earth-orbit orbit movements. In the final phase, the communication link between the lander Vikram and the orbiter was broken.
