Some people became too serious about the issue.
'Vikram don't have insurance and now he is afraid for Rs. 2,000,' said @devengr8.
The Maharashtra police tweeter handle also shared a message praising the ISRO.
"You have 100% left a mark on the heart of each one of us! Jai Hind".
Vikram, which encases rover 'Pragyan' went out of contact during its final descent, when it was just 2.1 km above the lunar surface, in the early hours of September 7.
"The lander is there (on lunar surface) as a single piece, not broken into pieces. It's in a tilted position," an ISRO official associated with the mission claimed.
Though the lander hit the surface hard while landing, it was still very close to the scheduled touchdown site as per the images sent by the orbiter's onboard camera, he said.
