The hope is alive but maybe we're hoping for more and something impossible.
Although India already made history by soft landing at the south pole of the moon, but we're hopeful to create more.
With Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover witnessing the harsh lunar night with temperature as cold as -200 degree Celsius, the chances of revival had always been slim.
There is a 50-50 percent chance of revival. If not, the mission has already achieved its objectives.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) us trying but has been unable to establish communication with the Vikram lander and Pragyan rover of the Chandrayaan-3 mission, raising concerns about their operational status.
Despite repeated attempts, no signals have been received from the lunar explorers, which touched down on the uncharted lunar southern polar region on August 23 after a 40-day journey through space.
The rover had traversed over 100 meters on the lunar surface from the Shiv Shakti Point, confirming the presence of sulphur, iron, oxygen, and other elements on the moon.
However, since then, Isro has been unable to revive the system despite high hopes.
Isro will continue its efforts to establish contact with the lander and rover until the next lunar sunset, slated for September 30. The agency is still hopeful that the sun's rise on Shivshakti Point, where the lander and rover are parked, will bring the equipment back to life. However, as of now, it remains uncertain when contact with the Chandrayaan-3 instruments will be established.
