Yutu-2 Lunar Rover still works! It continuously sends data from the Far Side of the Moon
Ғылым және технология
As of June 11, 2024, the Yutu-2 rover, part of China's Chang'e 4 mission, remains operational on the lunar far side. Since January 2019, it has been the sole robotic explorer in this uncharted territory, continuously transmitting invaluable data.
The rover's scientific payload, including ground-penetrating radar, a panoramic camera, and a visible and near-infrared spectrometer, enables investigations into the lunar regolith. It identifies mineral and rock constituents while probing the subsurface structure.
A significant finding is the discovery of a gel-like substance in a small crater, hypothesized to be impact glass. Its definitive composition remains elusive. Another unresolved phenomenon is the high-reflectance material on the floor of Von Kármán crater. Its reflectance surpasses that of the surrounding regolith, and its nature and origin continue to be subjects of ongoing research.
The ground-penetrating radar has revealed a stratified subsurface structure extending to depths of tens of meters. This suggests a complex impact events, though the precise details require further elucidation. Despite the extreme lunar environment, characterized by harsh temperatures and radiation, Yutu-2 continues to function beyond its intended lifespan, an example of robust engineering design.

Yutu means jade bunny (jade refers to the ivory color) in Chinese, haha. In Chinese folk story, Chang’e wanted to be beautiful forever so she ate a magical pill didnt share with her husband, got sentenced to live alone on moon with her pet bunny Yutu.
Those are such breathtaking shots! Better than anything I have seen of the moon. Thanks for your contribution to space research, China.
Now we have a complete new meaning of "Made in China"

It is remarkable that it has survived one lunar night at all let alone so many. If true then well done to the engineers who built it!

@@Denpasar-cv4rm Yutu 1 survived the first lunar night, on waking on third lunar day, it was unable to move, but was able to gather useful information until 31 July 2016, when it ceased to operate after a total of 31 months, well beyond its original expected lifespan of three months. It set a new record for operational lunar rovers only surpassed by yutu 2. By the way, the Indian rover was much smaller than the Chinese rovers. Yutu 1 is 140 kg (310 lb), 1.5 m (4.9 ft). The rover on chandrayaan 3 is 26 kg (57 lb), 0.9 m (36.1 in) in mass and length.

The hoax believers are smarter than many scientists around the world. Because those scientists got to examine the moon rocks brought back to the Earth by the Apollo Missions. But they couldn't figure out those rocks were just random rocks gathered from someone's backyard. I also wonder why the mighty USSR was not able to tell if the Apollo Missions were faked. All I can say is that the hoax believers are really bright people.

You are not alone and this mistake could continue if NASA does not focus on scientific tasks. “They are going to have a lander on the far side of the moon, which is the side that's always in dark,” Nelson responded. “We're not planning to go there.” The moon's hidden side has sometimes been referred to as the “dark side of the moon,” largely in reference to the 1973 Pink Floyd album of the same name.
