It’s been over two months since India’s mission to land on the Moon was cut short by a mysterious and unexplained failure of the Vikram lander spacecraft. The lander’s handlers at the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) lost contact with their machine shortly before it was expected to make a soft landing on the surface. Everyone assumed it crashed, but nobody could actually spot the crash site. Until now, that is.
NASA directed the powerful lens of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter to capture detailed images of the area where the spacecraft was thought to have crashed. It took a while, but scientists have finally made a positive identification of the debris and crash location that became the lander’s final resting place.
