Many space enthusiasts or those who have closely followed the activities of space agencies might be rejoicing at the good news of finally sighting India’s Vikram Lander on the moon. However, there now seems to be a conflict between NASA and India’s local space agency.
Recently, after a three-month search, the Vikram Lander that vanished upon landing on the moon was finally found, or at least the remains of the probe. Express reports that India’s ISRO space agency claimed that they had already known where the Vikram Lander crashed before NASA publicly released their images of the probe. The agency surprisingly kept this information under wraps and did not release any images of the location. They further claimed that the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter that went with the Vikram Lander had already spotted the crash site shortly after the failed landing. However, it was not until NASA decided to look into this that the public now knew.
The photos taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter of NASA showed the exact impact site of the crash. A civilian named Shanmuga Subramanian analyzed the images taken over the course of the three months that eventually revealed where the crashed lander was. NASA was contacted and the civilian confirmed that it was indeed the remains of the Vikram Lander. The LROC team analyzed the images before and after and further confirmed the tip.
Express also reports that the ISRO chief Kailasavadivoo Sivan stated that they do not want to reveal any information regarding what happened to the Vikram Lander but after the landing date, their own website had informed them that the probe had crashed days after it supposedly landed. Sivan further stated that they had already declared this on their website.
ISRO’s twitter page had also confirmed Sivan’s statement with a tweet the agency posted dating way back on 9th September: “#VikramLander has been located by the orbiter of #Chandrayaan2, but no communication with it yet. All possible efforts are being made to establish communication with lander.”
Only three countries have managed to successfully place their respective probes on the Moon: Russia, China, and the United States.
