Chandrayaan-3's rover and lander were put into sleep mode for the lunar night, which is equal to around 14 days on Earth.
The ISRO has been working to reestablish communication with the Vikram lander and Pragyan rover but despite their efforts, no signals had been received from the lunar explorers.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will continue attempts to revive the Vikram lander and Pragyaan rover until October 6. There is no certainty as to when contact will be re-established, but scientists are hopeful that as temperatures rise on the Moon's surface, the possibility of revival will also increase. The lander and rover have spent 14 Earth days in complete darkness and extreme temperatures. If successful, the mission will have an extended life and scientists will be able to collect more samples. | Latest News India
