While speaking at the event Sivan also said that national-level committee is looking into the issue about what happened wrong with the Chandrayaan-2 lander Vikram that lost the communication with Earth during its descent on to the lunar surface on September 7.

Sivan also revealed about ISRO’s next missions that have been lined up for coming years i.e. mission to the Sun, sending humans to space on an Indian spacecraft, and also working on a rocket to launch small satellites.

Since 7 September, Vikram lander lost its connection with ISRO. The scientists who were working on the Chandrayaan-2 tried to re-establish the communication but it was ended on September 21, as lander's working duration was only for 14 days.
