NASA Finds Lunar Spacecraft That Vanished 8 Years Ago
An anonymous reader shares a CNN report: It made history as India's first unmanned lunar spacecraft. Then it vanished.

"We have been able to detect NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter [LRO] and the Indian Space Research Organization's Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft in lunar orbit with ground-based radar," said Marina Brozovic, a radar scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. "Finding LRO was relatively easy, as we were working with the mission's navigators and had precise orbit data where it was located."Read more of this story at Slashdot.
