China's ZHURONG rover suffers major setback - #zhurong #tianwen1
In a major setback to the Chinese TIANWEN-1 Mars mission, ZHURONG Mars Rover failed to wake up from long hibernation. The Rover entered a state of hibernation in May 2022 and was supposed to wake up in December 2022. The trouble seems to be much larger, since the TAINWEN-1 orbiter also have not regained contact with Earth.
There is no official communication from CNSA until now and looks like they are still trying to make contact with the Rover and Orbiter.
Earlier NASA's INSIGHT ended its four year science mission after it ran out of Energy.
Could ZHURONG Rover have faced similar obstacles like INSIGHT ?
