Chandrayaan 2: Leaders Rally Around ISRO, Say No Need To Lose Heart
Expressing solidarity, PM Modi said India is proud of our scientists, and asked them to be courageous.
Morale-boosting messages poured in from various quarters for the Indian Space Research Organisation as several leaders asked the space agency not to get disheartened after Chandrayaan-2's Vikram lander lost contact with ground stations minutes before its planned touchdown on the lunar surface.
Expressing solidarity with the scientific community, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said "India is proud of our scientists", and asked them to be "courageous."
India is proud of our scientists! Theyâve given their best and have always made India proud. These are moments to be courageous, and courageous we will be!

Chairman @isro gave updates on Chandrayaan-2. We remain hopeful and will continue working hard on our space programme.
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman too extended her support to the ISRO scientists. She tweeted, "We are with you ISRO. You have brought the nation, its young minds and all, together in sensing your achievements in Space. You will succeed."
Union Minister for Science and Technology Harsh Vardhan urged the scientists not to give up and that success was failure turned inside out. "The silver tint of the clouds of doubt You never can tell how close you are It may be near when it seems so far. You have done your best for Chandrayaan-2!" he tweeted. He was optimistic that the ISRO scientists would accomplish the mission in the future.
My dear @isro scientists, your courage is unparalleled. I am reminded of Atal jiâs beautiful poem.....
