China's fully robotic rover on Mars, in longer-than-expected hibernation since May 2022, likely met with excessive accumulation of sand and dust, its mission designer said, breaking months of silence about the status of the vehicle
The motorised rover Zhurong, named after a mythical Chinese god of fire, was expected to have woken up in December after entering a plannedmode in May 2022 as falling solar radiation with the advent of winter cut its power generation.
The 240-kg Zhurong, which has six scientific instruments including a high-resolution topography camera, was tasked with studying the planet's surface soil and atmosphere after landing with no mishap in May 2021.
