Zhurong Rover

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.

According to an analysis of data sent back by the rover, Zhurong, signs of water were detected in sampled minerals from just 700 million years ago. It suggests that water was present on Mars' surface for longer than previously thought,

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.

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.

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.

China’s first Mars rover has driven down from its landing platform and is now roaming the surface of the red planet, China's space administration said.

Solar panels against an alien landscape, ramps and rods pointing at the Martian horizon — China's first probe on the Red Planet has beamed back its first "selfies" after its history-making landing last week.

China's probe to Mars touched down on the Red Planet early Saturday to deploy its Zhurong rover, state media reported, a triumph for Beijing's increasingly bold space ambitions and a history-making feat for a nation on its first-ever Martian mission.

China's Zhurong rover, part of its ambitious space programme to send a probe to Mars, is set to attempt the challenging landing on the Red Planet in the next five days, Beijing's space agency said Friday.
