Rtfa. It’s literally the second sentence.

imagery of its Jan. 18 flight sent to Earth this week indicates one or more of its rotor blades sustained damage during landing, and it is no longer capable of flight.

Its rotors were damaged on its last landing and it is now incapable of flight though it is still in communication with NASA.
