Below China’s first interplanetary mission, Tianwen-1, Zhurong was launched in July 2020 and landed on Mars in Could 2021. Zhurong marked the nation’s first-ever Martian rover, and made China the third nation to efficiently pull off a tender touchdown on the Purple Planet after the US and the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n

The six-wheeled trundlebot was designed to review Martian geology by mapping native terrain and analysing its chemical and structural compositions, paying shut consideration to indicators of water, ice, and mineral content material which may assist manned missions. Knowledge from the rover has helped scientists spot indicators that liquid water might have existed on Mars for longer than initially thought.<\/p>\n
