Which one of the following is the name given to the lander of Chandrayaan-2?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The lander of the Chandrayaan-2 mission was named 'Vikram'. This name was chosen as a tribute to Dr. Vikram A. Sarabhai, who is widely regarded as the father of the Indian space programme. Chandrayaan-2 was India's second lunar mission, launched on July 22, 2019, consisting of an orbiter, the Vikram lander, and the Pragyan rover [1]. While the orbiter successfully entered lunar orbit, communication with the Vikram lander was lost on September 7, 2019, during its final descent phase for a planned soft landing near the lunar south pole [1]. The mission's rover, Pragyan, was designed to be deployed from the Vikram lander to conduct in-situ chemical analysis of the lunar surface. The other options, Vigyan and Anusandhan, are not associated with the Chandrayaan-2 landing modules.
