Zhurong was put into hibernation in May 2022 to sit out the Martian winter. It should have woken itself in December but didn't. Now Chinese scientist say it may be able to wake at midsummer when there is more light and heat.
This market will resolve to NO if Zhurong is not reported to have contacted Earth by the next winter solstice in the Martian northern hemisphere. If Zhurong sends a signal before then, or is there is satellite evidence that the rover moved itself, this market will resolve YEs.
