Efforts to re-establish communication with India's Chandrayaan-3 moon lander and rover have dimmed after they entered "sleep mode" during the lunar night. The robots were expected to reawaken when exposed to sunlight around September 22, but contact hasn't been made. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) had expressed confidence in their survival but noted that hopes were fading. They plan to continue efforts to contact the spacecraft until September 30, the next lunar sunset. Despite the challenges, the Chandrayaan-3 mission had already achieved its primary objectives, making India a key player in lunar exploration.
