A NASA satellite orbiting the Moon has found India’s Chandrayaan-2 Vikram lander which crashed on the lunar surface in September, the U.S. space agency said on December 2. NASA released an image taken by its Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter that showed the site of the spacecraft’s impact and associated debris field, with parts scattered over almost two dozen locations spanning several kilometres. See the first mosaic of the impact site https://t.co/GA3JspCNuhpic.twitter.com/jaW5a63sAf — NASA December 2, 2019 Blasting off in July, emerging Asian giant India had hoped with its Chandrayaan-2 mission to become just the fourth country after the United States, Russia and regional rival China to make a successful Moon landing, and the first on the lunar south pole. The main spacecraft, which remains in orbit around the Moon, dropped the unmanned lander Vikram for a descent that would take five days, but the probe went silent just 2.1 kilometers above the surface.
