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

Thanks Phil. It's good to know the lander is designed to run for a year. I was as much wondering if the Chinese space agency would consider the lander investigations worth the effort and money of running on their own, or if they were just a sideshow to the rover that would be kept going as part of the overall budget of rover/lander mission, but not as just a lander. Paranoia, perhaps, but sometimes these things are politically influenced and the reasons why experiments are turned off aren't always clear.
I'm going to have to uncross some things for Yutu, I'm starting to ache...….. [MOD NOTE: Let's be careful about rule 1.2 here.] -------------------- |
