Sivan, who had go emotional later on the Chandrayaan-2 landing failed on September 7, said that ISRO is working on a plan of activeness to figure out how to attempt a soft landing on the Moon.
"Yeah, we could not achieve a soft landing, but all the systems functioned until 300 metre from the Moon's surface. But now nosotros have very valuable information to gear up things right," Sivan said while addressing the 50th convocation ceremony of IIT Delhi.
"Let me clinch you that ISRO will pull all its experience, noesis and technical prowess to set things correct and demonstrate soft landing on Moon in the well-nigh future," Sivan said.
"We are working on a program of action to become ahead with Vikram Lander landing," the ISRO chief said afterward while speaking to media-persons.
What was supposed to be Republic of india's first soft landing on Moon, the Chandrayaan-2 mission ended in failure when the robotic Vikram lander seemingly crashed into the lunar surface.
Had it been successful, India would take get the fourth state to land a spacecraft on the Moon. Rover Pragyaan would have then explored the lunar surface for 1 lunar day (effectually 14 Earth days).
Speaking at the convocation anniversary, the ISRO primary too reminded the globe that Chandrayaan-two might have failed, just the Indian space agency was on track with some other missions, including India'south solar mission named Aditya L-i and a homo spaceflight programme.
"Chandrayaan-2 is not the stop of story. Our plans on the Aditya L1 solar mission and homo spaceflight programme are on track. A large number of advance satellite launches are planned in the coming months," Sivan said.
