Efforts to reestablish contact with Chandrayaan-3 will continue, but it's not looking great tbh.
The Indian Space Research Organization tried to reestablish contact with its Chandrayaan-3 mission on September 22 but has received no signal back from the lunar pair. The space agency, however, is not giving up just yet and will continue to try and establish contact with the lander and rover duo, ISROThe Vikram lander was set to sleep mode on September 3, which marked the end of lunar daytime, while its companion, the Pragyan rover, fell asleep next to it as its solar power depleted.
A lunar day and night each last about 14 Earth days. During the daytime on the Moon, it experiences extreme heat and brightness while nighttime plunges the lunar surface into frigid darkness. The Chandrayaan-3 mission was designed to last for the duration of a lunar day, with the lander’s solar panels converting sunlight into electricity.Still, ISRO had hoped that its lunar lander could be revived with the beginning of a new lunar day as the Sun casts its light on the mission’s solar panels.
