China On Mars

Moon Missions: Japan, whose unmanned "sniper" probe will attempt a lunar landing on Saturday, is one of many countries and private companies launching new missions to the Moon.

The Tiangong is the crown jewel of China's programme, which has also seen it land robotic rovers on Mars and the Moon and made it the third country to put humans in orbit.

While China's rover investigated the dune soakings, Perseverance explored the remains of a powerful torrent.

China's fully robotic rover on Mars has, for the first time, found traces of recent water activity on the Red Planet, indicating that Mars has a few areas where conditions are suitable for life to exist.

China's fully robotic rover on Mars, in longer-than-expected hibernation since May 2022, likely met with excessive accumulation of sand and dust, its mission designer said, breaking months of silence about the status of the vehicle.

An uncrewed Chinese spacecraft has acquired imagery data covering all of Mars, including visuals of its south pole, after circling the planet more than 1,300 times since early last year, state media reported on Wednesday.

China on Sunday launched a new three-person mission to complete assembly work on its permanent orbiting space station. The Shenzhou 14 crew will spend six months on the Tiangong station, during which they will oversee the addition of two laboratory modules to join the main Tianhe living space that was launched in April 2021.

China's first independent interplanetary mission, Tianwen-1, pulled a new year's surprise by clicking incredible selfies on Mars above its north pole. The images showed the mission's solar arrays and antennas as well as a partial closeup of the orbiter.

Japan revised the schedule of its space exploration plans, aiming to put a Japanese person on the moon by the latter half of the 2020s.

Three Chinese astronauts have completed the country's longest crewed mission and started their journey home on Thursday after 90 days at the Tiangong space station conducting spacewalks and scientific experiments.

China has developed a prototype miniature helicopter for surveillance work on future Mars missions, according to CNSA.

China has developed a prototype miniature helicopter for surveillance work on future Mars missions, according to its space science agency, following the historic landing of a robotic rover on the Red Planet a few months ago.

China has said its Zhurong Mars rover will continue exploring Utopia Planitia where it landed on May 14 after completing the initial 90-day program.

Solar panel "wings" spread out and two camera "eyes" pointing ahead, China's Mars rover Zhurong struck a birdlike pose as it explored the red planet in photos released by the country's space agency Friday.
