Radio communication with the spacecraft was lost during the transmission of observational data to Earth. In India, they hope to renew the relationship and are comforted by the fact that the spacecraft has completed over 90% of its missions
India's Chandrayaan-1 lunar probe lost contact with the Indian Space Research Institute ground station on Saturday (August 29).
"We were unable to contact the spacecraft. We do not receive the data, and we do not have the ability to send commands." A senior Indian space agency official told a local news agency. "In simple terms, the spacecraft became deaf and dumb." The 11 scientific instruments on board were functioning normally, and the spacecraft was transmitting data during a planned sequence to the ground station, when contact was suddenly lost. The Indian agency is analyzing the data received, and it is possible to find in them signs of what happened.
Chandrayaan-1 and the American lunar probe LRO teamed up on August 20 to conduct a simultaneous radar experiment. The results of the experiment have not yet been published, but it was reported that the data from it reached the ground stations and were transferred to their destination.
Chandrayaan-1 was launched on October 22, 2008, and reached lunar orbit in early November. It has since made 3,000 laps and transmitted over 70 high-resolution photographs of the moon's surface, capturing incredible views of mountains and craters, including those located in the polar regions and which are always shadowed.
The Indian agency is comforted by the fact that the spacecraft performed more than 90% of the tasks planned for it.

I think that those who are interested in black guys are also interested in spaceships,
At least that's how it is with me.
I support my father that the topic "space" is focused enough.
To 6:
Haim Ramon or Ilan Ramon?
That's my opinion anyway...
The Columbia disaster was a public technological disaster. And if not for Haim Ramon, then it would not have interested the Israelis so much. But it is a long way from here to the conclusion that launches are interesting.
Until the Columbia disaster, everyone thought like you.
I wish it were so. This means that science had much higher public support.
That's right, my father. Launching missiles is just as interesting as sailing ships. corny.
Everyone who helped me design the site believes that the number of main experts should be reduced and not increased, and this is the most likely combination. All in all, if I had translated a scientific report that was photographed by the exact same spacecraft, it would have met your criteria.
My father, I think that space and astronomy news should be split in the main headlines, news about the launch of one or another missile that succeeded or failed is not the same as news about black holes and the like. There is no more connection between astrophysics and the launch of a satellite or telescope than the connection between ecology and the launch of a rocket. That's how it seems to me anyway.
