India's Moon Lander Succumbs to the Lunar Night

Hopes are fading for India's Chandrayaan-3 lander and rover to reawaken after the long lunar night, as the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has been unable to establish contact. The lander and rover conducted experiments during their initial mission, detecting various elements and movement beneath the lunar surface. With temperatures dropping to extreme lows during the night, the chances of reawakening are diminishing. Efforts to establish communication will continue, but without signals from the lander, there is no way of knowing its condition.
