India lost contact with the moon probe

All communications with India's only satellite orbiting the moon's orbit have been cut off, the country's space agency said.

Radio communications with the unmanned Chandrayaan-1 drone suddenly disappeared yesterday morning. The vessel was launched in October last year, as part of a two-year exploration program. This project is considered an important step for India to race against other countries with space technology in Asia.

Chandrayaan-1 is planned to explore the surface trajectory, capture 3D atlas on the surface and the terrain distribution of " Ms. Hang ".

The missile takes the unmanned explorer ship Chandrayaan-1 into midair on October 22, 2008.

However, last month, there was a problem with this device, due to a sensor failure. An Indian space agency spokesman told the BBC that at the time useful information was collected by the satellite and sent to Earth, but the image quality was not good.

Chandrayaan-1 runs on a solar panel with a capacity of about 700 watts. The exploration project costs about 78 million USD, lower than the cost that Japan or China left us to bring survey equipment to the moon last year.

However, India's space program faced many objections. Those who do not support the program think that this is a waste of money, while millions of Indians are lacking in basic conditions in life.
