Sometimes we don’t land or arrive at the destination we want to. The important thing is we took off and had the Hope and Belief we can. Our current situation is never and not our final destination. That always comes in time and belief! Proud of #ISRO

India's attempt to land a spacecraft at the moon, Chandrayaan- 2, began its journey on July 22. After revolving around the earth's orbit for nearly 23 days, Chandrayaan-2 began its journey to the moon on August 14. The soft landing of Chandrayaan-2's Vikram Lander on the lunar surface was scheduled between 1:30 AM to 2:30 AM on Saturday, however it lost contact with ISRO's Mission Control Centre when it was just 2.1 kilometres away from scripting history.
