Due to the rotation of the planet, plus the distance to the star it was orbiting, most of the solar receivers were used up keeping life support systems going in the half of the ship that survived the crash. It took five hundred Human days to build up a supply to safely broadcast a distress call.
It took slightly longer to send the next one, as more systems were repaired. Then the next one was even longer thanks to children now existing.
By the time a message finally brought help, it became a diplomatic mission to a new colony instead.
