Word from https://twitter.com/uhf_satcom is that Yutu is transmitting again, but no direct word yet from the lander. This is the 8th lunar day for Yutu.

An article with interview to Zhang Yuhua, deputy chief designer of the lunar probe system for the Chang'e-3 mission:
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/china/20...c_133499472.htm Based on this interview, Yutu might have been damaged by knocking against rocks on a lunar surface that is more complicated than expected from "foreign researchers" data (no comment!). -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -
