All over for the Chandrayaan?

It's being reported that Chandrayaan 1 has lost all contact with earth stations since 1:30 AM today. There has been talk of snags having developed on the spacecraft over the last few months, but I hadn't expected this coming.

Let's hope ISRO comes up with some ingeneous jugaad to keep the thing going for some more of it's 2 year projected life. Very disappointing news indeed.

Edit: It's confirmed, the mission has been called off.
