India was hoping to become the fourth nation (USA, China, Russia were the other three nations) to soft-land on the moon with their Chandrayaan-2 space mission. But their space agency, ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization), lost communication with their lander just before the mission was complete. Undoubtedly, the ISRO will learn much from this experience and will continue their efforts in becoming the fourth nation to land on the moon in the future.
CBS News Space Consultant Bill Harwood joined CBSN to discuss the apparent failure, in the video “India Loses Communication During Attempted Moon Mission“, below:

ChaIndia’s hopes for its Vikram lunar lander to make a soft landing on the moon were all but dashed when ground control lost the craft’s signal. India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi told scientists he was “immensely proud” of their unsuccessful attempt to complete the country’s first soft moon landing. It’s not known if the unmanned lunar lander crashed or suffered a technical fault.
