Chandrayaan-2 setback won't affect future missions: Karnataka Governor
Vadodara: Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala said the lander setback in the Chandrayaan-2 project will not have any effect on future space missions of the country.
Speaking late Saturday night here, he said the country was proud of its scientists and stood solidly behind the Indian Space Research Organisation.
In the early hours of Saturday, the Vikram lander module of Chandrayaan-2 had lost communication with ground stations, just 2.1 km from the lunar surface during its final descent.
On Sunday, ISRO chairman K Sivan said the lander had been located on the lunar surface, adding that "it must have been a hard landing".

"On the night of December 15, Yadav allegedly abducted a 4-year-old girl who was sleeping with her mother, a construction labourer, in a makeshift hut. He raped her at an isolated spot in Sector 24. After she confided in her mother, a case was registered and Yadav was held from a spot in Sector 25," Desai said.
"When we took him to the spot of the incident for panchnama and crime reconstruction on Saturday evening, Yadav pushed police personnel and began to run from the area. I issued a warning and then fired three rounds when Yadav was about 30 feet away. One round hit his leg," Desai said.
