The rover and lander of the Chang'e 4 probe have been switched to dormant mode for the lunar night at 8 pm and 7 pm respectively on Feb 11, according to the China National Space Administration (CNSA). The lunar rover Yutu-2 has driven 120 meters on the far side of the moon.

The Chang'e 4 lander and rover have worked stably with balanced energy level and normal data transmission. The payloads on board, including the lander's topographic and landing cameras, a low-frequency radio spectrometer, the lunar lander neutrons and dosimetry from Germany and the rover's infrared imaging spectrometer, together with radar measurement devices and an analyzer for neutrals from Sweden, have been operating smoothly as scheduled.
