The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will continue to re-establish contact with the Vikram lander and Pragyan rover of the Chandrayaan-3 mission for another 14 days. The modules were put into hibernation on September 4 to withstand the extreme cold at the Moon's south pole. ISRO Chief S Somnath remains uncertain about when contact will be successful but vows to continue trying until the next lunar sunset on October 6.
