China\u2019s Chang\u2019e 4 mission is continuing its science and exploration work on the farside of the Moon, having completed its eighth lunar day of activities on Wednesday.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This composite image showing the shadow of the Yutu-2 rover, roving tracks, and the distant Chang\u2019e 4 lander was taken during lunar day 7.

China’s Chang\u2019e 4 lunar lander and Yutu 2 (Jade Rabbit 2) rover powered down at 9:00 and 9:50 Universal Time (UT), respectively, on August 7th, just under 24 hours ahead of local sunset, according to an update (Chinese<\/a>) from the China Lunar Exploration Program (CLEP).<\/p>\n

The Yutu 2 rover has now covered a total of 271 meters (890 feet) since its deployment and continues to make its way west of the landing site in Von K\u00e1rm\u00e1n Crater. Chang’e 4 landed<\/a> in the 180-km-diameter (112-mile) crater, which lies within the immense South Pole-Aitken impact basin, following local lunar sunrise on January 3rd. NASA\u2019s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has been tracking Chang’e 4’s progress<\/a> as it passes overhead.<\/p>\n

Despite passing its design lifetime of three lunar days, or three Earth months, Yutu 2 is apparently continuing to drive well. The rover has even increased its drive distance in recent lunar days, driving 33.13 meters during lunar day 8, the farthest since the 43 meters it covered in lunar day 3. The rover has adapted to and overcome earlier issues that arose when reflections from the craft triggered obstacle alerts.<\/p>\n

This map of Yutu 2’s drive was produced by space exploration historian and cartographer Phil Stooke. The route for lunar days 6, 7 and 8 are early estimates.
