Reportedly USA’s National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has scheduled its Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter to fly over the site where ISRO’s vikram Lander was supposed to land and the orbiter was supposed to fly over the site on October 14. Perhaps this is the second time that the orbiter is flying over the site to get pictures of the vikram Lander and the first time it flew over the site was on September 17, where it took pictures of the area, but it didn’t give scientists any clarity as they were shot during dusk.

Moreover the Lander couldn’t be located and lighting conditions are expected to be better this time around. Apparently the lander attempted its landing on September 7, and had a 14 day mission life, equal to one lunar day. Accordingly once the lunar night set, ISRO said that the lander wouldn’t have any sunlight, due to which it wouldn't be able to generate power to work. 



Moreover even if NASA does manage to locate the lander, establishing contact this time around is unlikely, as it was not built to withstand lunar night temperatures, and hence, is most likely frozen.  Perhaps vikram carried a rover called Pragyan that was to have conducted experiments on the moon's surface.
