Nearly 10 months after Isro’s failed attempt to soft land Vikram,the lander on Chandrayaan-2 mission that was carrying a rover (Pragyan),new images from Nasa have rekindled interest in the mission.

Shanmuga Subramani,a techie from chennai who had identified Vikram’s debris using Nasa images last year has now sent emails to the indian space agency,claiming that the new set of images released by NASA in May show Pragyan and even a track that indicates that the rover may have moved a few meters.

Isro chairman K Sivan,confirming this,told STOI:’We’ve heard nothing from Nasa so far on the matter.But yes,the person who had identified Vikram debris earlier has sent us an email about this.Our specialists are looking into the matter and we cannot say anything at this juncture.”
