Hmm, the rover has problems just before getting into the second lunar night....
QUOTE China's moon rover monitored with abnormity English.news.cn 2014-01-25 10:48:05 BEIJING, Jan. 25 (Xinhua) -- China's moon rover "Yutu" (Jade Rabbit) has had an abnormity, and scientists are organizing an overhaul, the State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defence said on Saturday. (source) From what I have read from Chinese sources, it seems that the problem is with the solar arrays failing to tuck back into the rover body for thermal protection during the lunar night. Big oops if that can't be solved in a few (Earth) day's time... -------------------- UMSF - the place of Opportunity to satisfy your Spirit of Curiosity via Perseverance
