India terminates its first unmanned moon mission
Indian Space Research organisation has announced that the nation’s first unmanned moon mission is now finished.
ISRO is no longer able to connect to the spacecraft Chandrayaan.
ISRO Chief G Madhavan Nair said in a statement: “We are disappointed with what has happened, but we have managed to salvage a large volume of data. We are content with the result. Nearly 70,000 images of the moon have been captured during the mission. We were also conducting joint experiments with National Aeronautics and Space Administration scientists and sharing signals received from our spacecraft.”
ISRO further said that the work is progressing on the launch of Chandrayaan-II.
