The 'Dream Team' Behind China's Tianwen-1 Mars Mission | CGTN
China's interplanetary exploration program took a significant step forward when the Tianwen-1 rover made the country's first imprint on Mars. While the journey to the Red Planet had not been easy, thanks to a team of Chinese engineers and scientists, the mission was a resounding success.
China's Tianwen-1 Mars probe was launched back in July 2020 and entered Mars orbit in February 2021. The rover landed and started operations in May 2021. After it completed 90 Martian days of assigned scientific exploration tasks, the rover continued its exploration of the Red Planet. The rover, which has traveled 1,921 meters in 358 Martian days, is now in sleep mode.
As of June 29, 2022, the orbiter of the Tianwen-1 mission had completed its primary global remote sensing exploration objectives. It remains in good condition and will continue to conduct scientific exploration and accumulate data from orbit, according to CNSA.
