China’s lunar rover Yutu, along with the Chang’e probe, has entered its third planned dormancy, but technical problems that could cripple the rover remain unsolved.

Officials say Yutu’s radar, panorama camera and imaging equipment are functioning well, and Yutu had carried out scheduled scientific observations before this moon night fell.

But scientists haven’t fixed the control problems that have been troubling the six-wheeled vehicle since late January. The lunar rover landed on the moon in mid-December, and was expected to operate for three months.
