Seeking to boost the morale of the ISRO scientists, Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday advised them that there was nothing to despair.
“There is nothing to despair. ISRO only lost communication with the Lander & not the hopes of 1.3 billion Indians,” Naidu’s secretariat tweeted.
The vice president said the orbiter with its payloads is performing its mission.
“I salute @isro scientists, engineers & everyone else associated with Chandrayaan-2 for their hard work & dedication in trying to conquer new frontiers in space exploration,” he said.
Naidu also extended his best wishes for the Indian Space Research Organisation’s future endeavours, saying the country is proud of them.
