India made several attempts to launch a research probe to the moon, the last of which could be successful if so that the Vikram research module would not disappear upon landing.
In August, the Chandrayan-2 spacecraft circled the moon twice, and 2 September, the landing module, separated from the rocket, headed for lunar surface. During the descent at an altitude of 2.1 kilometers, communication with module broke off. After unsuccessful attempts to install with him connection, scientists came to the conclusion – the module crashed.
Based on data provided by Indian scientists, NASA took pictures of a place where it supposedly could be tough “lodge” module. However, despite the fact that metal fragments of the device should be clearly visible on the lunar surface, it was not possible to find the device. Mystery, and only.
Conspiracy therapists immediately joined the question. suggested that the aliens took the module. But why do they need this apparatus, not specified. Maybe they have a shortage of spare parts? ..

Previously, Indian scientists claimed that they found the device and are trying establish a connection with him, but no more from experts no information has been received. Most likely, the scientists made a mistake in the calculations, trying to figure out where the device might be.
On October 14, NASA’s probe, during the next lunar flyby, will repeat an attempt to find the Indian module by taking new pictures of its location possible crash. It is possible that the NASA probe, working on erroneous “tip” of Indian scientists, looking for the wrong apparatus.
ESOREITER previously wrote that at a design stage India refused to help Russia, unexpectedly interrupting cooperation. Russian scientists warned of weak and risky moments of the mission, but probably the ambitions of Indian scientists (or someone else) was not allowed to listen to recommendations.
