Better wording: Is the Indian space agency knew where it was, why didn’t it share the coordinate with anyone?

Djembe Mike Give Me A Beat @MikeGiveMeABeatSpace Watch : The .@isro released a thermal image of the Vikram Lander taken by Orbiter Chandrayaan 2 which is orbiting the moon. The ISRO Cheif claimed that “from a thermal image taken by Orbiter, it seems that Lander is still intact".., on the moon's surface.#VikramLanderFound pic.twitter.com/8xyOQYK3cy1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

That was a doctored picture from NASA's LCROSS mission. https://www.nasa.gov/images/content/362267main_ACD09-0117-002_full.jpg … https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/LCROSS/multimedia2/images/LCROSS_lunar_swingby.html …

Probably an illustration used by the Publication. They announced the discovery around that time. The handle says they also released an image....you may have to look around for it on ISRO handle or website.

If there were, I would have seen it. ISRO updates: https://www.isro.gov.in/chandrayaan2-latest-updates … Sept. 10: Vikram lander has been located by the orbiter of Chandrayaan-2, but no communication with it yet. All possible efforts are being made to establish communication with lander

We asked. Others asked. Contrast that with NASA, which throws all of the LRO images onto the web without anyone asking.

To be fair, there is often a proprietary period where the scientists who built the instrument get to take a first crack at the data. But there's no reason that ISRO couldn't have released an image of the landing site or shared the coordinates.

True, which is why I pointed out that while ISRO claimed to have found the lander, they never provided any documentation of that.
