The China Space facebook page reports the lander has awaken (Link).
I haven't heard anything about the rover. -------------------- -- Hungry4info (Sirius_Alpha)

and on Nature's website: China's lunar rover limps into another long night
I understand their desire to publish in Chinese peer reviewed literature, but why go for such a low impact factor publication like Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics? |

I understand their desire to publish in Chinese peer reviewed literature, but why go for such a low impact factor publication like Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics? You're assuming that Western funding mechanisms (with resulting concerns about impact metrics) apply in China. Maybe they don't. Maybe they do science funding differently. Chinese ties to the chosen publication (RAA) may well be more important to the Chinese. Admittedly, I'm just speculating. I don't actually know how they do things. |
