Twitterati came hard on trolls from Pakistan on Saturday after communication with the Vikram lander was lost while descending to the moon's South Pole. While announcing loss of the communication link, Chairman of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) K. Sivan said that the performance of the lander was as per the plan till it was at an altitude of 2.1 km from the moon surface, after which the communication was lost.
The lander had successfully completed its rough braking phase with its descent speed going down well. On the screen it was seen that Vikram slightly changed from its planned path and then the link got snapped.
