Chandrayaan 2: Achieved 90-95% objectives, says ISRO chief K Sivan

In its first statement after moon mission suffered a huge setback on Saturday, the Indian Space Research Organisation described India's Chandrayaan-2 as a highly-complex mission that represented a “significant technological leap”.

The space agency also underscored that 90-95 per cent of the mission objectives had been achieved and would contribute to lunar science despite the loss of communication with the Vikram lander.
