"They were thrown into space together but at the time of separation, they were placed with different velocity to allow them to build a distance of 10-20km between them," @mila_mitra, former Nasa scientist and co-founder of Delhi-based space education firm Stem and Space, told the BBC. "During docking, scientists manoeuvred them to close that distance allowing them to mate."

Chandrayaan-3 Mission:
Efforts have been made to establish communication with the Vikram lander and Pragyan rover to ascertain their wake-up condition.
As of now, no signals have been received from them.
Efforts to establish contact will continue.
#WATCH | ..." The Next mission of ISRO is Aditya-L1, Aditya itself means Sun so, this mission is to observe the Sun...L-1 word is lagrangian, there are so many lagrangian points that are on the line between Earth and Sun, L-1 also is on the line between earth and sun, this point is very stable because both Sun's gravity and Earth's gravity reach on that point...", says Mila Mitra, former Nasa scientist
