With the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) losing communications with Chandrayaan-2’s moon lander ‘Vikram’, India’s ambitious project to search for water on the moon suffers a setback. ISRO chief K Sivan confirmed that communication with the lander had been lost and said that data was being analysed.
