Solution

The point 'Shiv Shakti' where Vikram, the lander of India's lunar mission Chandrayaan-2, was supposed to land on the moon's surface was designated by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Here are the steps:

  1. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launched Chandrayaan-2, India's second lunar exploration mission, on 22 July 2019.

  2. The mission included a lunar orbiter, a lander named Vikram, and a lunar rover named Pragyan.

  3. Vikram was supposed to land near the south pole of the moon, at a point designated as 'Shiv Shakti'.

  4. Unfortunately, ISRO lost contact with Vikram just minutes before it was supposed to land on 7 September 2019.

  5. Despite the loss of Vikram, the orbiter part of the mission has been successful and continues to send valuable data back to Earth.
