Re: Chandrayan-2 Mission

If they were switching down from 4 engines to 2 engines, then one of them didn't switch off in time, and created an imbalance, causing loss of attitude stability most likely
I am speculating only.

If it tumbles, its antenna won't face the orbiter or the earth.

Re: Chandrayan-2 Mission

The time lag for comms is about 2.5 seconds only. if the lander sped up in the end, instead of further slowing down, they know already. Attitude control data must have been available till they lost comms, so they will know if it is tipping over. The animation on the screen generates images based on ...

Problem from the security POV for the Pakistani state is that Dimran can't be allowed to speak alone, he can't be allowed to stay in a hotel (the CIA will simply make videos of his antics all night long).
