The Indian Space Research Organisation has located the Vikram Lander that had lost contact communication with the space agency just moments before its scheduled soft landing on Saturday.

However, communication with the lander has not yet been established.

The lander was located with the help of the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter, which remains safe and is revolving around the Moon. The orbiter managed to shoot a thermal image of the Vikram Lander.

The space agency’s chief K Sivan said, “We have found the location of Vikram Lander on lunar surface and the orbiter has clicked a thermal image of the lander. But there is no communication yet. We are trying to have contact.”
