Lander depends on solar power, and RTG is only for heat.
I didn't know that the lander had folded its panels again after having deployed it post launch, but apparently they did that to safe them against the impact of landing. Now unfolded again, and power positive!
Does anyone know LRO's current orbit? How long before we get imagery of Chang'E 3 on the moon?

I think the earliest photo opportunity for LRO is on Dec. 25.
