Mission controllers lost communication with India's Chandrayaan-2 lander this afternoon, shortly before it was expected to settle on the moon's surface.
The descent was going smoothly until the lander was about 2 kilometers above the surface, an Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) staffer at the mission control center in Bengaluru said. At that point, "Communication from [the] lander to [the] ground station was lost. The data is being analyzed," the staffer said.
After the apparent mishap, Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted: "India is proud of our scientists! They've given their best and have always made India proud. These are moments to be courageous, and courageous we will be! Chairman @isro gave updates on Chandrayaan-2. We remain hopeful and will continue working hard on our space programme."
