Vikram Lander

The Vikram Lander was part of India's Chandrayaan-2 mission, designed to softly land on the Moon's surface. It aimed to demonstrate India's lunar landing capability and conduct scientific experiments, such as analyzing lunar soil. Although it experienced a hard landing and lost contact before completing its mission, the effort showcased advanced space technology and laid groundwork for future lunar exploration. The Vikram Lander's design included systems for navigation, control, and scientific instrumentation, representing a significant step in India's space program.
