After days of anticipation, now it seems there is no chance of Chandrayaan-3’s moon lander and rover waking up. According to space scientist and former ISRO chairman, AS Kiran Kumar, there is no hope of reviving India’s third lunar mission.
On September 22, after a new lunar day began, ISRO stated that efforts were made to establish contact with the Vikram lander and Pragyan rover, both powered by solar energy. However, despite efforts, there have been no signals received from either the lander or the rover.
