According to ISRO Chairman S Somnath, "There is no chance of a miss this time and even if all engines and the sensors of the Vikram lander stop working, the soft landing will take place.
He further stated, “If everything fails, if all the sensors fail, nothing works, still it (Vikram) will make a landing. That’s how it has been designed - provided that the propulsion system works well. We have also made sure that if two of the engines (in Vikram) don’t work this time also, it will still be able to land."
