CBS? They are a perfect mouthpiece for China.

Sgt (Join to see) - Hmm . . . with China not being transparent about much of anything, I am comfortable not having an opinion without confirmation. I agree that it appears to be an animation. However, doesn't it seem that our Mars Orbiters (or someone else;s) would be able to confirm whether or not China's rover made it in one piece and is operational?

Perhaps, SGT Mary G., but there are a number of variables and timing... My guess is that if/when the China Rover commences data transmission, we should be able to detect or pick it up... So far there has been no map published (that I know of), which shows where all the landers and rovers are dispersed, including China's... Time will tell, of course...

Yes, Sgt (Join to see) - I agree it would be easier to pick up a transmission signal, then once it is located maybe get a look at it from photos of an Orbiter. I hope if there are transmissions that China will share some of what the Rover is finding. Time, indeed, will tell.
Here's a map for you!

SGT Mary G. - NASA's telemetry systems can log the undecoded signals for later decoding. They still use a 70MHz center frequency output to drive data recorders. This allows for many channels of data to be decoded, one at a time, rather than all in real time. It cuts a huge overhead from the equipment costs, and allows archival of missions.
These data loggers came fro RADAR designs, where a site could record what their system picked up, for later recall.
