Is Chandrayaan 2 successful?

India’s ambitious mission to land on the Moon failed. The Vikram lander, of the Chandrayaan 2 mission, crashed on the lunar surface on September 7, 2019, but it was only in December that scientists found it. That means the lander wouldn’t land at the intended location. And that is what made finding Vikram challenging.
