far not a part of the room of the moon that has seen a lot of exploration they were hoping to map out for more proof of water ice but the orbiter is still in function and will continue to orbit the morn for a year so the information that they received from the operators what they're banking on now of course if it is that successfully landed on the morn india would have just been the 4th country after the us russia and china to do so so this is being seen as a blow but the country is rallying behind the space mission and congratulating them on a mission that was at least partly successful just how significant would it be if this mission indeed turned down to have failed maybe also emotionally for the country. well definitely because this was something that india and the indians had been watching closely there was a lot of enthusiasm in schools among children among space and towards just and many common civilians as well so this is this could turn out to be a disappointment of the mission has to really feel it's truth still analyzing the
