    China's Moon: Journey of the Jade Rabbit

    Published on Feb 5, 2016

    Yutu, or "Jade Rabbit," is an unmanned lunar rover that was part of the Chinese Chang'e 3 Moon mission. It reached the lunar surface in mid-December 2013. It was the first soft landing on the Moon since 1976, and the first rover to operate there since the Soviet Lunokhod 2 mission ended in May 1973.

    Yutu encountered operational difficulties after about a month on the Moon, and was unable to move after the end of the second lunar night. It continued to gather useful information for some months afterward. In October 2015, Yutu set the record for the longest operational period for a rover on the Moon.
