Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter now safe, Gaganyaan worries ISRO

Despite Mission Chandrayaan-2 recording another success with its Orbiter completing a year around the Moon last week, the Isro has reason to be worried: India’s maiden manned space mission, Gaganyaan overshooting its deadline due to Covid-19-triggered delays. The space agency was euphoric in its declaration that the Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter had enough fuel on board to keep it alive for another seven years.

Did Vikram crash onto the Moon?

Great science results from great contestation. It is in this spirit that I contest the assertion by the leadership of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) that its Vikram lunar lander’s failure was a result of “hard landing.” When a significant aspect of the Rs 978 crore (about $140 million) space mission, namely the landing of the Vikram lander and Pragyan rover, failed, it was incumbent on the ISRO leadership to engage in a brutally honest determination of what went wrong rather than offering early assertions, such as that the mission was over 90% successful.
