The landing model and lunar rover Chandrayaan-3 of the Indian Space Research Organization are still not in contact with Earth. According to the organization, the Vikram lander and the Pragyan rover are not yet responding to requests.
It was previously reported that the module and the lunar rover were put into sleep mode for a period of lunar night lasting about two weeks. Without sunlight, the solar panels of the devices could not accumulate energy. During hibernation, the payload of the devices was turned off, but the receivers continued to function to respond to requests from Earth on September 22.
According to Indian experts, an attempt was made to conduct a communication session to find out the current state of the devices, but there was no response yet. It is emphasized that attempts will continue.
