At the end of last month, we brought you word that the first lunar rover from China, known as Yutu, which can be translated to Jade Rabbit, has already run into a mechanical control abnormality which could signal its “death” in a matter of a month. Apparently, it has frozen itself to “death” on the moon, at least according to China’s ECNS news. Basically, there is no more hope to restore any form of communication with Jade Rabbit, and as the temperatures on the moon’s surface plunge, the rover’s mast which was designed to fold down in order to protect its delicate instruments within, malfunctions.
