Nasa Finds Chandrayaan 2 Vikram Lander On Moon, Credits Chennai Techie.

A tiny bright spot, a white dot on the vast lunar canvas like a needle in a haystack gave the first clue of Vikram, a tiny spacecraft India had anticipated landing on the Moon as part of the Chandrayaan-2 mission.

This attractive NASA image, released on December 3, shows the precise spot on the Moon's surface where Vikram, the lander deployed in India's Chandrayaan-2 mission, hard-landed.

Vikram went incommunicado shortly before its scheduled touchdown near the south pole of the lunar. A tense nation watched as the Isro control room's mood of merry anticipation faded. The PM offers words of comfort.

"Notwithstanding the loss, getting that close to the surface was a wonderful achievement," Nasa said in a statement unfolding the new images of the Vikram.

Here's another image, marked with colored dots, and showing debris with green dots and disturbed the soil with blue dots.

See the region marked "S"? That's debris found by Shanmuga Subramanian.

India would have become the 4th nation to land on the Moon if Vikram had reached its destination safe and sound.

Jitendra Singh, CM for the Department of Space, said last month in Parliament, that the Chandrayaan-2 mission should not be called a failure.

No country had managed to pull off a successful soft landing in less than 2 attempts, not even the US, he said.
