Can someone help me understand this Wikipedia article section: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandrayaan_programme#List_of_missions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandrayaan_programme#List_of_... Check the row for Chandrayaan-2. Why does it say Unsuccessful landing but main mission success and extended missing ongoing? What exactly are main mission and extended mission and how can they succeed or be ongoing when the landing has been unsuccessful?

The Chandrayaan-2 mission had an orbiter, which is still operational, as well as the lander which crashed.

Chandrayaan 2 had 3 payloads. The lander crashed along with rover. But the orbiter is still functioning. It has 8 scientific instruments on board for various observations of lunar surface.
