天问一号飞運騎遊達达3亿CNSA – China National Space Administration – ESA – European Space agency Belt and road initiative mars mission…first Mars exploration mission, Tianwen- Martian Probe OneAs of September 15, 2022, the Tianwen-1 orbiter has been in orbit for more than 780 days, and the rover has travelled a total of 1,921 meters, completed the established scientific exploration tasks, and obtained 1,480 GB of original scientific exploration data. The scientific research team has obtained rich scientific results through the research on the first-hand scientific data obtained independently by my country. Through a comprehensive study of typical landforms such as concave cones, barrier craters, and trenches distributed in the landing area, the important connection between the formation of the above-mentioned landforms and water activities has been revealed.

朱融号 The photos taken by the Mars rover before hibernation for one month (April 2022), maybe this is the posthumous work….

Currently as to date of the Zhurong Mars Rover is currently at sleep safe mode due to the Martian Sandstorms….. The location of Zhurong taken by the Tianwen-1 orbiter after it hibernated in Zhurong last year. The rut marks left by Zhurong after traveling 1921 meters are clearly visible….. The local dust on Mars captured by the Tianwen-1 orbiter is much layered. This photo was taken by the medium-resolution camera of the Tianwen-1 orbiter on January 6, 2022, and Zhurong went into a dormant state more than three months after this time point.

Last year, he appeared in the documentary “Hello! The photo of Arsia Mons in the opening title of “Mars” was synthesized from multiple photos taken by the medium-resolution camera of the Tianwen-1 orbiter on February 7, 2022.

On the basis of the previously released version, a post- processing….

Orson Welles crater (Orson Welles) near the equator, located in the Western Hemisphere Coprates quadrangle (MC-18), on the north side of the east end of Sailors Valley. The researchers believe that the pit was covered by sediment long ago, and that the collapse of an underground aquifer created a complex chaotic topography in the pit, releasing flash floods that formed vast lakes in the pit. The northeast side of the crater was damaged by multiple current events, and the flood water overflowed the rim of the crater, forming the downstream Shalbatana Vallis (Shalbatana Vallis).
This is a key to the turbulent past of Mars…
