Zhurong still in sleep mode

According to Zhang Rongqiao (chief designer of the Tianwen-1 mission), the Zhurong rover is still in sleep mode. In May 2022, the Zhurong rover has been switched to sleep mode, in order to cope with a dust storm and the Martian winter. It hasn’t resumed operations since. Tianwen-1 (天问一号) is China’s first Mars exploration mission with an orbiter, a lander and a rover named Zhurong (祝融).
