    This is thermodynamically equivalent to running a freezer with the door open, due to the second law of thermodynamics it will just generate more heat than doing nothing would

    Here's a link, they got a signal but since it's lunar noon it's too hot to consistently operate so they told it to wait until it cools down https://www.iflscience.com/its-alive-japans-moon-lander-has-survived-its-first-lunar-night-73121
