Sivan also added that communications with the lander are still down and ISRO is trying to make contacts with the lander.
On September 2, the Vikram lander successfully separated from the Orbiter to reach the lunar surface.
However, on September 7, the mission suffered a setback when the Vikram lander lost its communication with the ground stations, just 2.1 km above the lunar surface.
