Chandrayaan mission called off:
Scientists have called off the Chandrayaan 1 moon mission after losing radio contact with the unmanned spacecraft on Saturday.
"We don't have contact with the spacecraft and we had to terminate the mission," said G Madhavan Nair, chief of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), in Panaji on Sunday.
"We are disappointed with what has happened, but we have managed to salvage a large volume of data," he said. "We are content with the result."
