Yutu2 Rover

China's Yutu (Jade Rabbit) 2 Moon Rover. I’m just a curious bunny hopping around on the moon. I love gazing at stars.

Hey, we might have detected the first signs of lunar mantle material. If the minerals we found prove to be part of the moon's mantle, the discovery could help scientists better understand how both the moon and the Earth formed. Are you as excited as I am? 🐇#Yutu2 #JadeRabbit

[Yutu2 Rover @yutu2rover]

Yay! My big sis #ChangE4 woke up this morning and we have started working for our fifth moon day. It's actually been a month after my designed “life”. Can you believe it? 🐇#Yutu2 #JadeRabbit

April 24 is China Aerospace Day. Do you know this day is also the birthday of Dongfanghong No.1? As China's first artificial satellite, it took off from the Jiuquan satellite launch site 49 years ago, uncovering the the story of China's exploration of space. 🐇#Yutu2 #JadeRabbit

April 24 is China Aerospace Day. Although I will be in sleep on that day, I hope you can join us to celebrate! Love the poster made by my master. Can you find me in it? I have set the alarm to wake me up on April 28th. See you later! 🐇#Yutu2 #JadeRabbit

[Yutu2 Rover @yutu2rover]

Hello! I'm back again. My big sis #ChangE4 went to bed and will probably sleep until April 29, 7:00 am Beijing time. Guess I'll be on guardian duty to protect her! 🐇#Yutu2 #JadeRabbit

Do you know that 1 day on the moon equals 14 days on the Earth? At noon in a moon day, the sun is the strongest and the temperature is the highest. My working place may approach 100℃（212℉). At that time, I would stop and take a nap.🐇

Many people ask me how long I will be living on the moon beyond my designed life. My master said that I have only spent about 1/10 of my life. The designed life of my predecessor was also 3 months, but it ended up working on the moon for 972 days. 🐇

Now, I'm going to check out the northwest area where there are fewer pits and bumps to carry out more in-depth exploration.🐇

[Yutu2 Rover @yutu2rover]

Yay! Today marks my first "overtime" work day. I was designed for a three-month lifespan. Since landing, taking pictures of everything, and doing various scientific explorations, I have completed the "preassigned tasks" designated to me.🐇

Good morning! I’m ready for my fourth moon day.
#ChangE4 is talking in her dream again. It's time to get up! Master has just assigned a task and we are ready to go.

Congratulations from the far side of the moon!

Good morning!

Check out this photo down below.

NASA’s LRO took a picture of me while I was asleep! Should’ve taken a pic of me while I was driving around hard at work! 💪

Anyway, that little black dot is me and the big white dot is my big sis #ChangE4 ! ✨

Happy Lantern Festival! Check out this giant crater! It’s so big and so round, it’d be perfect as a bowl for enjoying some delicious Yuan Xiao, ping-pong ball-sized dumplings made of glutinous rice flour.

How lovely. Mmm~ 😋✨

To my heroic friend:
The moon is shining bright,
The sun is nowhere in sight.
The stars are twinkling with all their might,
And darkness looms left and right.
So let me turn off the light,
and wish you a very good night. #ThanksOppy

It seems to me you lived your life
like a rover in the wind
never fading with the sunset
when the dust set in.

Your tracks will always fall here,
among Mars' reddest hills;
your candle's burned out long before
your science ever will.

#ThanksOppy. I owe you so much.

[Yutu2 Rover @yutu2rover]

Getting ready for bed but there's something I wanted to tell you!
I have now hopped 120m on the dark side of the moon, breaking the record of my big brother Yutu1! I can jump even faster, up to 200m/h, but I'm not allowed, have to be careful not to hurt myself!

Hey Elon, would u like to come to the dark side of the moon to see me?

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

I want you too baby

[Yutu2 Rover @yutu2rover]

Yep, you found us!!!

[ARCHIVED - NASA Moon @NASAMoon]

On January 3, the Chinese spacecraft Chang’e 4 landed on the far side of the Moon. This week, our @LRO_NASA spacecraft snapped this image of the lander from 85 km above the lunar surface. The lander, about the size of a car, is only 2 pixels at this scale. https://t.co/RUl3jsNZ4N

Good morning! I’m awake!

I did a full body check and everything seems to be working great!

I must say the isotope-based “heating pads” prepared for us beforehand have been really helpful! I wasn’t cold at all even in a temp of -190°C! ☺️
