<p>As more than a billion Indians prepare for a historic moment of lunar touchdown on August 23rd, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has said that communication with the orbiter of partially successful Chandrayaan-2 mission has been established.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While the Vikram lander of Chandrayaan-2 was lost in August 2019, the Pradan orbiter remains in an orbit around the Moon.</p>

<p>In a post on X, previously known as Twitter, ISRO said that the orbiter of Chandrayaan-2 sent a welcome message to the Vikram lander of Chandrayaan-3 mission. The Vikram lander is scheduled to land on Moon's southern pole, following which India will become the first nation in the world to land on Moon's southern pole.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"'Welcome, buddy!' Ch-2 orbiter formally welcomed Ch-3 LM. Two-way communication between the two is established. MOX has now more routes to reach the LM," India's space agency said in its post.</p>
