China's Moon self-propelled vehicles are weak

The autonomous device with Chinese name Ngoc Ngoc still lives, but has weakened considerably due to technical and environmental causes.

>>>Chinese Jade Rabbit Ship "dead premature" on the moon

According to Reuters, the Moon's technical problems and low-temperature temperatures are the reason why China's self-propelled devices weaken. These effects affect the performance of the Jade Rabbit.

Xinhua quoted Li Bengzheng, China's deputy moon research program leader, said the self-propelled device could still send data to Earth thanks to the Hang Nga explorer ship 3.

However, solar wheels and panels, which are designed to insulate in cold conditions at night, are no longer active. Function of the device is gradually broken down every day.

At the end of February, the Rabbit Rabbit was declared "resurrected" after falling into abnormal sleep. Chinese state media earlier reported that the self-propelled Rabbit Yu died on the lunar surface.

According to China News, the " self-propelled vehicle " could not fully recover as expected " after a malfunction of machinery and mechanical control was discovered in January. Abnormal incidents with autonomous vehicles due to the environment on the lunar surface are very complicated. At this time, it is carrying out the task of geological exploration and natural resources search.

Self-propelled vehicles Ngoc Ngoc began performing the task of studying the moon on December 15. Ngoc Rabbit weighs 120kg, can climb 30 degrees and move at 200m / h. The car has 6 wheels, equipped with 4 cameras and two mechanical legs, performing the task of collecting soil samples on the moon.

The mission to explore the moon is considered a great pride for China, when it became the third country in the world, after the US and the Soviet Union, bringing self-propelled devices to the moon.

For years, China has been promoting space programs, serving military, commercial and scientific research purposes.
