It looks like they received the last communication from the lander. Apparently it landed next to a cliff which is preventing the solar panels from working correctly.

They aren't sure if they will ever be able to receive another signal, but they are saying for sure that it won't be any time soon even if they do.

Still, a pretty amazing accomplishment to even land it. Hopefully the data it collected is useful.
