US-based and world's leading space research and technology organisation, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)on Saturday (7 September) commended Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for its Chandrayaan-2 Mission.

The Chandrayaan-2 mission aimed to land a rover on the south pole of the moon while also inserting an orbiter in moon's orbit, which would help the ISRO to garner unprecedented insights about the yet unexplored territory of the moon.

Chairman of ISRO, Dr K Sivan has revealed that over the next 14 days, ISRO would continue to attempt to restore communications with the lander. ISRO has now managed to locate Vikram lander on the lunar surface and efforts are now on to reestablish contact.
