TL;DR Summary

India's Chandrayaan-3 lunar mission may be over as attempts to wake up the lander and rover have been unsuccessful. The frigid lunar night lasted two weeks, and with the new day, hopes of revival are diminishing. Although the mission is considered a success for being the first to land in the Moon's south pole region, the chances of the spacecraft awakening in the Sun are decreasing. The lander and rover were not designed to withstand the extreme cold temperatures, and their survival remains uncertain.
