Chandrayaan-2, launched by ISRO on July 22, 2019, consists of a lunar orbiter, Vikram lander, and Pragyan rover, aimed at exploring the moon's south pole. The Vikram lander aimed for a soft landing but lost communication just before touchdown on September 7, 2019, resulting in a hard landing. The mission's scientific objectives include studying lunar topography, mineralogy, and the presence of water ice and liquid water on the moon's surface.

>>Vikram was designed
to perform soft land in
the south polar region.
of the moon between
two craters ,Manzinus C
and Simpelius N on
September 7 th.
However the lander deviated
from its intended trajectory at
2.1 km altitude and had lost
communication when touch
