A long night's start on the moon amid hopes of contact with Vikram

A long night on the moon will now begin between hopes of contact with Vikram. By September 7th, the problem would have increased if there was no contact with Vikram. Even so, Lander Vikram and Rover Pragyan's mission had a deadline of 7 days, which is coming to an end.

Continuous efforts are being made to contact Vikram Lander, during which time it will be overnight on the Moon. Night and day on the moon are 2-5 days longer than the earth, so the place where India made the landing of Vikram will be deadly darkness. Vikram and Rover were to operate from daylight and their mission life was 7 days.

In this case, sunlight will now be available after 3 days, thus reducing the chance of contact. After landing on September 7th, the rover projecting inside Vikram Lander had to come out and dig the surface of the moon, but the mission was incomplete as there was no contact. The mission life of the rover was set at 7 During the 7 days, Pragyan was to send various pictures from the surface of the moon to Esro.

If Issaro still manages to interact with Vikram in the next one day, it is likely that something important will be done in the day and night cycles on the moon for the next 7 days. The photos were taken when NASA's orbiter passed over Vikram's landing site, and after studying those pictures, NASA said it did not show a record.

It was analyzed in two ways. One, NASA's orbiter's share may not have appeared, or the record had changed when it was not contacted at landing. Concerns over the Chandrayaan-1 mission were raised following NASA's report. However, the Indian Orbiter will still be operating in the space of the New Moon and will send pictures to the ISROs.
