Indian Space Research Organisation lost contact with the Vikram lander as it approached the moon's surface on Saturday. Now, an official associated with the mission said, “The lander is there as a single piece, not broken into pieces. It’s in a tilted position,” to news agency PTI.

Vikram, with rover Pragyan inside it, lost communication during its final descent, just above the lunar surface, on Saturday
“It had a hard-landing very close to the planned (touch-down) site as per the images sent by the on-board camera of the orbiter. The lander is there as a single piece, not broken into pieces. It’s in a tilted position,” an ISRO official associated with the mission claimed on Monday. — The Hindu

I don't know why they didn't use a ball like structure to land it initially

last time mars rover nasa di video choosa

balloon like structures emerge from rover at time of landing making it fully covered and once lands on surface it will jumps off and stands still at some point where the balloon like structures will be pulled off automatically

 

but ikkada rough landing tarvatha, thrusters and sensors failed anukunta..mainly sensors

otherwise thrusters would have kept the lander safely..they tried some new things which they want to implement in next moon landing mission

these space agencies make patents.. so no other country should copy it else take permission and give credits...

Spirit and Opportunity rovers were landed on Mars like that.. using Parachute + airbag cushions .. 

Parachute landing was possible because Mars has thick atmosphere, But on Moon.. its impossible because of the almost negligible atmosphere..

moon does not have much atmosphere like mars.you need to drastically slow down . cant deploy parachute in space

i was thinking maybe they will realign the orbiter to see if they can pick a signal.
