Chandrayaan-2 rover intact? Isro looking into new Nasa images

“月船2号”的月球车完好无损?Isro正在研究NASA的新图像

BENGALURU: Nearly 10 months after Isro’s failed attempt to soft land Vikram, the lander on Chandrayaan-2 mission that was carrying a rover (Pragyan), new images from Nasa have rekindled interest in the mission.

班加罗尔：印度空间研究组织（ISRO）试图让“月船2号”的着陆器“维克拉姆”软着陆的尝试失败了，上面还搭载了一辆月球车“Pragyan”号，近10个月后，来自NASA的新图像重新激起了人们对这次任务的兴趣。

Shanmuga Subramanian, a techie from Chennai who had identified Vikram’s debris using Nasa images last year has now sent emails to the Indian space agency, claiming that the new set of images released by Nasa in May show Pragyan and even a track that indicates that the rover may have moved a few meters.

去年，来自金奈的科技迷尚穆加·萨伯拉曼尼亚通过NASA的图像识别出了“维克拉姆”号的碎片，现在他已向印度航天局发送了电子邮件，声称5月份NASA发布的新图像上显示了“Pragyan”号，甚至还有一条轨迹，这表明“维克拉姆”号可能移动了几米。

Isro chairman K Sivan, confirming this, told TOI: “We’ve heard nothing from Nasa so far on the matter. But yes, the person who had identified Vikram debris earlier has sent us an email about this. Our specialists are looking into the matter and we cannot say anything at this juncture.”

印度空间研究组织主席K Sivan证实了这一点，他对印度时报表示:“到目前为止，我们尚未从NASA那里得到任何消息。但是，之前确认“维克拉姆”号残骸的人已经给我们发了邮件。我们的专家正在调查此事，目前我们无法公布任何消息。”

The November 2019 images from Nasa’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) showed the debris of Vikram lander. Given that Moon’s polar region is not always well lit and the lander was in a shallow depth of 2ms from the surface, the rover was not visible from the November images.

2019年11月，NASA的月球勘测轨道飞行器(LRO) 拍摄的照片显示了“维克拉姆”号着陆器的碎片。考虑到月球的极地区域并不总是光线充足，从11月的照片中无法看到月球车。

“Going by the January 4 images (made public in May), however, I think Pragyan may be intact and that it has rolled out a few metres from the lander. We need to know how the rover may have moved and I hope Isro is able to confirm this,” Shanmuga Subramanian told STOI.

尚穆加·萨伯拉曼尼亚对印度时报表示：“然而，从1月4日获取的照片来看(5月公开)，我认为“Pragyan”号可能完好无损，它已经从着陆器上移动了几米。我们需要知道月球车是如何移动的，我希望Isro能够证实这一点”

He further postulated that Pragyan rolled out acting on some of the blind commands sent by Isro’s ground command that was relayed by Vikram. However, Isro, which lost communication with Vikram in the early hours of September 7, 2019 has not been able to re-establish contact since.

他进一步假设“Pragyan”号执行了一些由Isro地面指挥部发出的由“维克拉姆”号转发的盲目指令。然而，ISRO在2019年9月7日凌晨与“维克拉姆”号失去了联系，此后一直未能恢复联系。

The agency, however, had tried communicating with Vikram for multiple days after the hard-landing. One explanation to the rover’s movement on Moon’s surface, if the finding is accurate, would be that Vikram, which lost communication with the ground station, may have sent some commands to Pragyan which Isro never learnt about.

然而，在硬着陆后，ISRO曾多次尝试与“维克拉姆”号建立通讯。如果这个发现是准确的，对于月球车在月球表面移动的一种解释是，失去了与地面站联系的“维克拉姆”号可能向“Pragyan”号发送了一些指令，但Isro未发现。

“We will have to analyse and see what may have happened. There is nothing concrete now,” Sivan said.

Sivan说：“我们必须进行分析，看看发生了什么。现在还没有没有任何确实的依据。”

There is nothing to be ashamed of if a mission fails. And there is nothing to be proud of either. I know there will be disappoints and frustrations do set it.We have to keep trying. It is a matter for scientists and technocrats. Let us hope their next endeavour succeeds.

任务失败了也没什么好羞愧的，成功了也没有什么值得骄傲的，肯定会有失败和挫折的。我们必须继续努力，这取决于科学家和技术人员，祝他们下次成功。

What are ISRO engineers doing. Why can't they find..Why are they relying on some freelance enthusiast.

ISRO的工程师在做什么?为什么他们找不到“维克拉姆”号，为什么要依赖一些业余爱好者呢?

Rafale Gumbanee

See the power of Modi. Due to his presence at ISRO the rover is intact.

见识到莫迪的力量了吧，由于“月船2号”发射的时候他在ISRO观看，所以月球车才能完好无损。

Deje je

An ordinary man without any support structure alerting ISRO based on Nasa images ? Looks like ISRO scientists simply sitting and monthly getting . Recruit that man right away to use the sophisticated technology that ISRO have.

一个普通人都能根据NASA的图像作出分析，并提醒印度空间研究组织?看来ISRO的科学家们都是坐着领工资的。马上把这个人招进ISRO吧。

Manish Kun

This is still as surprising to me as it was 10 months ago. One guy has more enthusiasm and intellect than the entire ISRO.

这和10个月前一样让我感到惊讶。这个人比整个ISRO都更有干劲，更有智慧。

its a closed chapter no use wasting time.. concentrate on next probe...

这是一个已经结束的篇章，不要浪费时间研究了。专注于下一个任务吧…

reservation policy in educational institutions and government jobs has spoiled and rendered institution like ISRO, DRDO, RBI useless!!

预留制已经把ISRO, DRDO（印度国防研究与发展组织）, RBI（印度储备银行）这样的机构毁了!!

Rafale Gumbanee

Master stroke by Modi. He had advised ISRO when to launch and land the rover. That's why it is saved.

莫迪的杰作。他曾建议ISRO何时发射月球车、何时着陆。这就是月球车完好无损的原因。

hello there

He looked at the clouds and used sewer energy to resurrect the rover from death Hail Modi!!

莫迪让月球车起死回生了，莫迪万岁！

It was a brave effort by ISRO ... but there is no need to drag on anymore ..

这是ISRO的一次勇敢的尝试……但是没有必要再为此浪费时间了。

Useless/fake news. The batteries are long dead and no point in talking about the failed lander. Better Isro work on Chandrayana-3 instead of looking into what an amateur tipped off to the agency.

假新闻。电池早就没电了，谈论这次失败的任务已经没有任何意义了。Isro最好专注于研究“月船3号”，而不是调查一个业余爱好者的发现。

thanks to congress we have ISRO .

多亏了国大党，我们才有ISRO。

Send Pappu, he loves to ride the rover.

so success rate moves from 98% to 99% now

Would be miracle if we get Vikram alive ...

如果我们能激活“维克拉姆”号，那就是奇迹…
