Its slightly disappointing to know that Chandrayan failed, but I still think its a major success for India. NASA had many failures too in its history. Good luck ISRO for Chandrayan-2  "Imagination is More Powerful Than Knowledge" - Einstein.   | ||

BANGALORE : Ten months after it was launched, India's maiden moon mission the ambitious Chandrayaan-1 came to an abrupt end on Saturday after ISRO lost communication with the spacecraft, cutting short the dream odyssey that was expected to last two years. "The mission is definitely over. We have lost contact with the spacecraft," Project Director of the Chandrayaan-1 mission M Annadurai said. However, he said: "It (Chandrayaan-1) has done its job technically...100 per cent. Scientifically also, it has done almost 90-95 percent of its job". ISRO chief Madhavan Nair on Saturday virtually admitted that the Chandrayaan-I moon mission could be over, saying it is a "pretty difficult" situation. "At the moment, we have suspended the mission. Calling it off would depend on what has failed. We are trying to analyse what has gone wrong and we will take a look at it tomorrow," he told reporters. Asked if there was any hope of the mission surviving, he said he can't confirm anything at the moment. The two-year mission, launched on October 22 last year with much fanfare, was abandoned early today after the after radio contact with the mooncraft was abruptly lost at 0130 hours. ============================================================ ======= asala few months ga updates levu chandrayaan ninsi ... i did not see any photos/data on the net/media ... asala veellu seppedi entha nijamo eto ... |
