Chandrayaan-2: Fate of lander may be known today as NASA probe to fly over Moon site

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) will fly over the part of the Moon where the lander is lying after it lost contact with the ISRO control centre when it was 335 metres from the surface of the Moon on September 7.

It has been exactly 10 days since the Chandrayaan-2’s Vikram lander lost its communication link with the ISRO ground station but in a boost to the space agency, a NASA orbiter is expected to reveal new information on its fate once it flies over the landing site on the Moon on Tuesday.
