India says it is unable to connect with the rover carried to the moon by Chandrayaan-3.
It is special that so far no signal has been received from that rover.
But a few weeks ago, it had started sending pictures and data to the moon.
The Indian Space Agency says that this will be disabled as the southe region of the Moon receives only 14 days of sunlight.
This is because the rover is powered by solar technology.
Accordingly, it is reported that it should be re-energized on September 22.
But it is said that the batteries can be damaged because it is very cold when there is no sunlight.
India says that this could be the reason for not receiving signals from the rover.
