"I HAVE FOUND THE VIKRAM LANDER!!On September 7, 2019, it was publicized that Chandrayaan 2 lost contact with the ground base. Nobody could figure outthe status of the lander(Vikram). But on December 4, Chennai-based Engineer and Amateur space enthusiast, ShanmugaSubramanian tracked down debris of the Chandrayaan 2 lander - Vikram. Let us explore through this triumphantmoment for India.Here is how Subramanian found the debris from the Vikram lander. During his investigation, he figured that the landerwould have stopped around 1 km from the landing spot. This made him focus on 2 km radius around the area. As hesearched the north of the landing site he found a little tiny dot which he compared with images from NASA's LunarOrbiter (LRO). It was immediately clear that this was debris from the Vikram lander.ReconnaissanceIt must have common for all of us to feel that the Chandrayaan mission must be abandoned. How ever, Subramaniantook help from NASA's surveillance of Vikram and the finding of the Chandrayaan orbiter to provide hope for thethousands of scientists who worked behind this project. After gettng a positive reply from NASA by sending his picturesof the debris from the lander, he said. "I got a good response from NASA".His message to all students: "I would suggest students to help out NASA, ISRO, by building a good database of LROimages with features like comparison etc. Currently, we have to compare it manually..... wish someone could do moreon that."Let us enjoy this triumphant moment for our country. JAI HIND!
