Lead the team of creators of the lunar Rover called "Jade rabbit" Jia Yang said that he considered all the flaws that have caused the loss of lunar Rover communication with Earth after six weeks spent on the moon. In Chinese, the name of the Rover sounds like a "WiTu". The so-called pet, and the goddess of the moon in the mythology of this country.

The new Rover will travel to Mars even before the Creator of his retirement. He, no doubt, will behave better than its predecessor, which for a time lost touch with the earth and the mobility at the onset of incredibly cold moonlit nights.
