Despite the fact that the much awaited Chandrayaan-2's landing module Vikram went silent just before just landing on the Lunar Surface at the last moment yesterday.
Certainly it has created a despair among the people of India and especially for those ISRO Scientists who have working for the mission tirelessly.
The journty of the Chandrayaan-2's landing module Vikram remained uncertain after a 47 day journey of the mission.
India was set to create history by landing on the lunar surface successfully. Only three countries — Russia, the US and China have displayed the successful effort for soft landing on the Lunar surface. Earlier scientists have mentioned their concerns of 15 crucial minute of soft landing on the surface of moon.
Chandrayaan-2 is India's second mission to the moon. It comprises a fully indigenous Orbiter, Lander (Vikram) and Rover (Pragyan). The Rover Pragyan is housed inside Vikram lander.

India’s Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle GSLV MkIII-M1, successfully launched the 3840 kg Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft into an earth orbit on July 22, 2019.
GSLV Mk III is a three-stage launch vehicle developed by ISRO. The vehicle has two solid strap-ons, a core liquid booster and a cryogenic upper stage.
The vehicle is designed to carry 4 ton class of satellites into Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) or about 10 tons to Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
The lander will separate from the Orbiter and enters into a 100 km X 30 km orbit around the Moon and it will perform a series of complex braking manoeuvers to soft land in the South polar region of the Moon on September 7, 2019.
A total number of 7500 visitors witnessed the launch live from the Viewer’s Gallery at Sriharikota.
