NASA has failed to trace India’s Chandrayaan-2 lander, Vikram in its latest imaging of the landing site. However, NASA is optimistic that it might be able to get a clearer picture imaging in its next imaging cycle of the part of the moon next month in October.

Our @LRO_NASA mission imaged the targeted landing site of India’s Chandrayaan-2 lander, Vikram. The images were taken at dusk, and the team was not able to locate the lander. More images will be taken in October during a flyby in favorable lighting, NASA said in its tweet recently.

“The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) passed over the landing site on September 17 and acquired a set of high-resolution images of the area; so far the LROC team has not been able to locate or image the lander. It was dusk when the landing area was imaged and thus large shadows covered much of the terrain; the Vikram lander may be hiding in a shadow,” Nasa said.

The agency added that the lighting will be favorable when LRO passes over the site in October and once again attempts to locate and image the lander.
