You might think i am pessimistic but i feel like Vikram has rough landed just like Beresheet. So, i am going to keep my expectations low.

As the descent started, the braking rockets were fired to control the speed of the spacecraft's fall. However, the gyroscope engine, responsible for speed and direction control, failed halfway through. The mission control couldn't reset the component due to the sudden loss of communication. The communications were restored later but it was too late to avoid a crash, as the spacecraft was falling at over 500 kmph.

What was our descent speed at tge end of fine breaking phase?

Also agar crash ho bhi gya koi bat nahi, very well done for first time

Whatever happens,ISRO is one of the shining examples of how much a country can prosper even with crippling obstacles fighting against it. We are such a young country and look at our space program. So many great women and men sacrificed so much to get us our right to dream and be free,ISRO has made each one of them proud. ISRO is the greatest example of the India they envisioned.

Here's hoping they succeed. Inshallah. 🤠

Yup, whatever happens we are still going to leave a mark on moon. Hope our lunar library is intact, even if it crashed.

Its especially hilarious if you read this in Gaitonde's voice 😆

I think ISRO should sell movie rights at minimum 500 crores...😆 ISRO will get half of its budget back..

Dekhte hai Akshay banata hai ki nhi..

Chandrayaan took thermal images of Vikram means its still emitting heat. If it was a crash landing and vikram disintegrated then there would not have been heat emissions from it. So there is a hope that it is atleast intact. Maybe toppled to the sides which may have caused obstruction in the deployment of solar panels hence cutting off communications
