Earlier this month India was poised to make history. The Indian Space Research Organization eagerly awaited the day when its Chandrayaan-2 mission would send the Vikram lander and its rover companion down to the Moon’s surface.

However, NASA’s more powerful imaging hardware hasn’t been able to locate the crashed vehicle, and has released a series of images of the lunar surface to prove it.
