NEW DELHI, Sept 29 — As hopes dim of further contact with India’s Moon rover, the country’s space chief has said he was satisfied with the prospect of calling its successful lunar mission to an end.
The Indian Space Research Agency had hoped to prolong the mission by reactivating the solar-powered vehicle once daylight returned to the lunar surface, but so far has been greeted by radio silence. It has a comparatively low-budget space programme, but one that has grown considerably in size and momentum since first sending a probe to orbit the Moon in 2008.
