The China National Space Administration announced on the 17th that the Chinese-built "Zhu Rong" rover has been operating on the surface of Mars for more than 90 days and a large amount of data related to Mars has been obtained. Thus, the "Zoo Rong" rover has successfully completed its intended research mission. The design life of the "Zoo Rong" rover is 90 Mars days, which is approximately equal to 92 days of Earth. Since its successful landing on Mars on May 15 this year, it has covered 889 meters and collected about 10 GB of data. Processing and quality verification of Martin topography data, meteorological data, and spectral data obtained during exploration has been completed.
According to experts, the current data will help scientists expand their study of the planet. Data on the surface patterns, material structure, and magnetic properties of Mars will help us investigate its ecological evolution. Will be able to know the factors behind the work and this information will help scientists to increase their knowledge about the weather on Mars.
The rover that went with the Tian Wen 1 research mission did a great job and its power generation and data transmission was "satisfactory". In the coming days, mission controllers want to test some "stress tests" on the "Zoo Rong" rover to demonstrate the maximum potential of its equipment and other robotic adventures to Mars and other solar systems. Such experiments could be carried out on planets. According to the designer, the rover will suspend its operations from mid-September to the end of October because it is expected to disrupt its communication with the earth due to solar electromagnetic radiation. And then it will resume its mission.
The China National Space Administration announced on Tuesday that the "Zhu Rong" rover has completed all three of its scheduled tasks, ending its three-month life. The 240-kg robot is a key component of the Tiananmen 1 mission, the country's first interplanetary adventure, and the sixth rover to Mars. The 1.85-meter-long robot, which is now hundreds of millions of kilometers from Earth. Utopia will continue its expansion to an ancient coastal region of Planetia, a large plain within the largest known basin in the solar system.
Scientists agree that Mars is currently the only planet in the solar system, after Earth, where traces of life can be found and plans for the future can be drawn. Experts also say that research on Mars can take years and require many generations of continuous research. Recent research activities also aim to better understand the Martian environment and to understand the evidence for the existence of life in order to advance the sustainable development of mankind. China's Mars mission will take seven months to reach the Red Planet, and the mission will focus on three key points: orbit, landing and reconnaissance.
Landing on Mars is not an easy task. Since the 1960s, humans have made 44 attempts to explore Mars, but about half of them have failed. More than 40 spacecraft have been launched during this time, but so far only eight of them have landed on Mars.
It should be noted that the Chinese space mission successfully landed on the surface of Mars on May 15. The international community congratulated China on the occasion. The successful landing of the Chinese Tian Wen-1 Mars rover on Mars was commented on the website of the American monthly research journal "Science American" in the following words: "Landing on Mars is the latest success of China's space program. China has become the second country in human history to launch a "spacecraft" to Mars. ۔
