Radio contact with Chandrayaan-I spacecraft was abruptly lost at 0130 Hrs (IST) on August 29, 2009. Deep Space Network at Byalalu near Bangalore received the data from Chandrayaan-I during the previous orbit upto 0025 Hrs (IST).
Detailed review of the Telemetry data received from the spacecraft is in progress and health of the spacecraft subsystems is being analysed.
