India's Vikram lunar lander, which crashed on its final approach to the Moon's surface in September, has been found thanks in part to the sleuthing efforts of an amateur space enthusiast.

India’s second unmanned moon mission Chandrayaan-2 lander Vikram, which contact was lost yesterday, has been located on the lunar surface and it must have been a hard-landing, Indian Space Research Organization Chairman K Sivan says.

India's second unmanned mission to the moon, Chandrayaan-2, has been called off due to a technical glitch, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) says.

Eleven years after its maiden successful unmanned mission to the moon which found traces of water there, India is all set for the launch of the second one in the wee hours tomorrow (July 15).
