TL;DR Summary

India's space agency, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), has been unable to re-establish communication with its Chandrayaan-3 moon lander and rover. The mission, which successfully analyzed the Moon's atmosphere and composition, had put the lander and rover into sleep mode with hopes of recharging their batteries and waking them up. However, no signals have been received, and the ISRO director stated that the mission has already fulfilled its purpose. The harsh lunar conditions, with temperatures dropping to -250 degrees during the nighttime, may have affected the electronics. Despite this, some scientists remain hopeful that the lander and rover may still work again in the future.
