According to this website:
http://news.163.com/14/0312/19/9N5KNCJ300014JB6.html It seems Yutu has woken up again, thereby officially exceeding its design lifetime - if this Google translation (and my interpretation of it) is reliable: "China news agency, Beijing, March 12 - "'Rabbit' is now in good shape, you can also expect extended service a long time." CPPCC National Committee, China Aerospace Science and Industry Group's third dean Weiyi Yin accepted in Beijing on the 12th News Agency reporter that interview. Rabbit numbers is China's first lunar rover vehicles, the design life is three months. December 15, 2013, Chang E III lander and rover isolated rabbit numbers, "rabbit" successfully arrived on the lunar surface. 23:45 that night, the completion rabbit numbers rotate camera around Chang E on the 3rd and returns photos. Early morning of January 25 this year, Chang E III lunar rover before entering the second moonlit night sleep, the rover body control abnormal, February 10, the first rabbit No. wake fails, the night of February 12, lunar rabbit the car has been fully awake state is getting better, but the "agency" problems still need to be further recovery. Weiyi Yin told reporters that despite the "rabbit" design life is approaching, but it is now in good shape, had been sick but wake up, long life than expected design life of many. " -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
