Support poured in for ISRO scientists on Twitter, with messages of encouragement flooding the micro-blogging site, after Chandrayaan-2's moon lander Vikram lost contact with ground stations minutes before touchdown early Saturday morning.
The communication from the lander to ground station was lost during its powered descent to the lunar surface in the early hours and data is being analysed, the space agency's chairman, K Sivan, said.
In a tweet, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, "India is proud of our scientists! They've given their best and have always made India proud. These are moments to be courageous, and courageous we will be!"
Ashish Sharma's tweeted, "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts, we just lost the communication not the hope."
