India’s first attempt to land an operational robot on the Moon ended in uncertainty on Friday after the signal between the Vikram lander and mission control in Bengaluru, India, was lost.

“The Vikram lander descent was going as planned and normal performance was up to an altitude of 2.1 kilometers,” said Kailasavadivoo Sivan, chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), in a livestream of the landing at mission control.
