Judging from the images, both moving rover on the surface of the asteroid jumps in fully functional condition and able to shoot.

Recall that the automatic interplanetary station "Hayabusa-2", which was launched into space in 2014, reached the asteroid's orbit Ryugu 27 June. September 21 the unit landed on the surface of the two rover object. Both devices feature a variety of scientific instruments to analyze Ryugu soil surface and move along it by means of special mechanisms for jumping. In the future it is planned to plant a large asteroid immobile lander and rover third.

The photo was taken the device Rover-1A 23 September. It shows the shadow of the antenna module, as well as a special pin. As the site of mission data pins operate just three functions: when jumping increases fiction area, protect the solar panel from damage during landing and also have built-in temperature sensors to directly measure the surface temperature of Ryugu
