It became my country’s first artificial Mars satellite, and started a scientific exploration journey to the red planet. a lunar year.

The video is a video of the Mars group photo taken by the probe.

The video was shot by the “selfie” camera carried by the Tianwen-1 surround. The camera is installed at the end of the “selfie stick”. This selfie tool is designed to monitor and evaluate the status of key components outside the surround. In the video The orbiter’s 3000N engine, propellant storage tank, attitude control engine and other components are in good condition. The five-star red flag shining in the Mars orbit is particularly bright. During the attitude adjustment process, the angle of the sun’s illumination changes significantly. When flying over the north pole of Mars, the ice cap below was photographed.
The “selfie stick” uses a special shape memory composite material, which is folded and folded before launch. After entering the orbit of Mars, the folded part is heated to a certain temperature, and the “selfie stick” gradually returns to a straight state. The “selfie stick” weighs only 0.8 kilograms and is 1.6 meters long when unfolded. The camera installed at the end can effectively complete various monitoring tasks.

As of January 31, 2022, Tianwen-1 has been in orbit for 557 days, about 325 million kilometers away from the earth, and the light travel time is about 18 minutes. The Zhurong rover has worked for 255 Martian days and travelled a total of 1524 meters. At present, the Tianwen-1 mission has returned a total of about 600GB of original scientific data, and the two devices are in good condition and operating normally

During the week of the 12th January 2022 in CNSA – China National Space Administration…. The third anniversary of the spirit of lunar exploration: the fourth phase of the lunar exploration project has been established, and the planetary exploration project will also start a new journey

Three years ago today, January 11, 2019, the CPC Central Committee, the State Council put forwarding  forward a “lunar Spirit” Chang E IV in lunar exploration mission a complete success of his message: chasing the dream, the courage to explore , collaborative tackling, and win-win cooperation .

The sixteen-character lunar exploration spirit is an important part of the Chinese Communists’ spiritual pedigree. It is a vivid portrayal of the “two bombs and one star” spirit passed down from generation to generation, and it is also the winning code to support the six battles and six victories of the lunar exploration project. . The spirit of lunar exploration enriches the connotation of the space spirit in the new era, and brings together magnificent spiritual power for the space dream and the Chinese dream.

Since the CPC Central Committee decided to implement the lunar exploration project, it has adhered to “integrated research and demonstration”, “one-stop tackling key problems” and “drawing a blueprint to the end”, and successfully completed the three-step strategic plan of “circling, falling, and returning” as scheduled, and China’s lunar exploration began. The new chapter of human lunar exploration has made China’s contribution to the development of aerospace technology and space science.

Wu Yanhua, deputy director of the National Space Administration, said in an interview with a reporter from the Central Radio and Television Station that the country has approved the fourth phase of the lunar exploration project, and China Aerospace is embarking on a new journey of deep space exploration step by step.

The four follow-up missions of China’s lunar exploration project include the Chang’e 6, Chang’e 7 and Chang’e 8 missions, which will be implemented successively in the next ten years.

According to the plan, China will first launch the Chang’e 7 probe to the south pole of the moon. Then, the backup Chang’e 6, the backup of Chang’e 5, will be launched for sampling return at the south pole of the moon. After Chang’e 6, Chang’e 8 will be launched to establish the basic model of the lunar scientific research station.

Wu Yanhua said: These three missions are mainly led by China, and we are also planning to cooperate with Russia to build a basic type of lunar scientific research station to better explore the lunar environment and resources, including how to peacefully utilize and develop lunar resources, in order to lay a solid foundation.

Wu Yanhua believes that open cooperation is an important way to get to the center of the world aerospace stage. At present, my country has signed nearly 160 cooperation agreements with more than 60 countries and international organizations, which have created conditions for China’s aerospace industry to go out and lead the implementation of large scientific plans and large scientific projects in the lunar and deep space fields.

Wu Yanhua emphasized that the first Mars exploration mission that has been implemented is the pioneering work of China’s interplanetary exploration, and the following tasks are still very long-term.

The country has approved the planetary exploration project. The planetary exploration project includes the first Mars exploration mission of Tianwen-1, and the follow-up mission of asteroid attachment and sampling return, Mars sampling return and Jupiter system exploration. The planetary exploration project is scheduled to be completed in the next 10 to 15 years. At present, my country is still carrying out the demonstration of the strategic plan for the medium and long-term development of aerospace, such as the detection of the edge of the solar system.

​
 

The starry sky is vast, and there is no end to exploration. Under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and vigorously carry forward and practice the spirit of lunar exploration, Chinese astronauts will make new contributions at a new starting point, continuously promote the innovation and development of China’s aerospace industry, and achieve high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement. Human beings make new and greater contributions to the peaceful use of space.

 探月精神三周年：探月工程四期已立项，行星探测工程也将开启新征程

​​三年前的今天，2019年1月11日，中共中央、国务院、中央军委在探月工程嫦娥四号任务圆满成功的贺电中提出十六字“探月精神”：追逐梦想、勇于探索、协同攻坚、合作共赢。

十六字的探月精神，是中国共产党人的精神谱系重要组成部分，是“两弹一星”精神薪火相传、生生不息的生动写照，也是支撑探月工程六战六捷的制胜密码。探月精神丰富了新时代航天精神的内涵，为航天梦、中国梦汇聚磅礴精神力量。

党中央决策实施探月工程以来，坚持“一体化研究论证”“一条龙攻关攻坚”“一张蓝图绘到底”，如期圆满完成“绕、落、回”三步走战略规划，中国探月开启人类月球探测新篇章，为航天科技和空间科学的发展做出了中国贡献。

国家航天局副局长吴艳华在接受中央广播电视总台记者采访时表示，国家已批复探月工程四期任务，中国航天正在一步一个脚印开启深空探测新征程。

中国探月工程四期后续任务包括嫦娥六号、嫦娥七号和嫦娥八号任务，这三个任务将在未来十年之内陆续实施。

按照计划，中国将先发射嫦娥七号探测器去往月球南极。然后，发射嫦娥五号的备份嫦娥六号，进行月球南极的采样返回。嫦娥六号之后再发射嫦娥八号，建立月球科研站的基本型。

吴艳华表示：这3次任务主要由中国牵头，我们也准备联合俄罗斯建设月球科研站的基本型，来更好地探索月球的环境和资源，包括怎么和平利用开发月球资源，以期打下一个坚实基础。

吴艳华认为，开放合作是走近世界航天舞台中央的重要途径。目前我国已经和60多个国家和国际组织签订了近160份合作协议，这些都为中国航天走出去并引领月球以及深空领域大科学计划和大科学工程的实施创造了条件。

吴艳华强调，已经实施的首次火星探测任务，是中国行星际探测的开山之作，后面的任务还非常长远，这是全人类可能是未来几百年、几千年都要为之奋斗的事业。

国家已经批复了行星探测工程，行星探测工程包括天问一号首次火星探测任务，还包括后续要开展一次小行星的附着、取样返回探测任务，火星取样返回和木星系探测。行星探测工程计划在未来10到15年内完成。目前，我国还在进行航天中长远发展战略规划的论证，比如太阳系边际的探测等。

​
 

星空浩瀚无比，探索永无止境。在习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想指引下，大力弘扬和践行探月精神，中国航天人必将在新起点上再立新功，不断推进中国航天事业创新发展，实现高水平科技自立自强，为人类和平利用太空作出新的更大贡献。

On the months of January 2022 1st January 2022 on New Years Day  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 One  sent back stunning images of the Half Earth Mass size of the Rustic Planet Mars in which show stunning Martian landscape with its iconic polar caps of either southern or northern .. with its timeless Stunning Mars Photography.

Orbiter and Mars photo

On 2022 New Year’s Day, China National Space Administration CLEP – China Lunar Exploration program  issued a set of beautiful images of the first Mars mission Heaven 1 spacecraft returned from distant Mars, report to the National People ‘Heaven One “peace, extended festival greetings .

This set of images includes a photo of the orbiter and Mars, a close-up of the orbiter, the North Pole ice cap of Mars, and the “Zhurong” rover shooting fire landforms, etc., showing the operating status of the orbiter, the “Zhurong” rover, and the acquired surface of Mars form.

In Figure 1, the orbiter is flying over the north pole of Mars. The orbiter body is golden, the directional antenna for high-speed data communication with the ground is silver (under the orbiter body), and the solar wing is in good condition. The white area on Mars is the “ice” sheet covering the North Pole. Unlike the ice at the two poles of the Earth, the “ice” of Mars is composed of dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) and water ice. The dark area below Mars is the Olympia Shabo of Mars, the bright circular crater in the upper left corner is named Korolev Pit, and the remaining red and dark areas are bare ground.

 Partial close-up of the orbiter

In Figure 2, the solar wing on the side of the orbiter is fully deployed and the attitude is stable. An unfolded subsurface detection radar antenna is parallel to the solar wing, and the magnetometer extension rod extends to the upper left of the surround.

Mars Arctic Ice Sheet

Figure 3 shows the Martian North Pole ice cap, the bedding is clearly visible. After years of deposition and ablation, it presents a spiral landform composed of a white ice layer centered on the pole and bare ground.  

Figure 4 is a mosaic of 3 images acquired by the “Zhurong” Mars rover recently using a navigation terrain camera. In the figure, we can see typical Martian topography such as ring craters and rocks. As of December 31, 2021, the Tianwen-1 orbiter has been in orbit for 526 days, and is currently about 350 million kilometers away from the Earth. The communication delay is about 19.5 minutes. 1400 meters. At present, the Tianwen No. 1 mission is carrying out detection and related tests as planned, and a total of about 560GB of raw scientific data has been returned. The two devices are in good condition and operating normally.

On the months of December 2021  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 One …….祝融号Zhu Rong”  Zhang Rongqiao, chief designer of China’s first Mars exploration mission, was selected as one of the ten greatest figures of the year in Nature

At 0:00 on December 16th 2021 Thursday, Hong Kong SAR- Beijing time, the international authoritative scientific magazine “Nature” published the top ten figures of 2021, and Zhang Rongqiao, the chief designer of my country’s first Mars exploration mission, was selected. On May 15, 2021, China’s Mars rover “Tianwen One” successfully landed on the pre-selected landing zone on the surface of Mars. China became the second country in the world to successfully land on Mars and deploy a Mars rover. After the “Zhurong” Mars rover sent back telemetry signals, the flight control center in Beijing lit up a festive red screen, and the engineer excitedly shouted “Hello, Mars!” Zhang Rongqiao took off his glasses silently at this time, tears in his eyes.

The character of the year in “Nature” describes Zhang Rongqiao as “Mars explorer”. Mars is a space nightmare for many countries. So far, the overall success rate is only about 50%, and the success rate for landing missions is only a little over 40%. China’s first Mars exploration mission completed the three major goals of Mars orbiting, landing and patrolling. It is even more difficult and risky. Behind the steadily accomplishing the three goals is the effort to “grind a sword in ten years.” “In order to win today’s first battle, we started planning 10 years ago. We have worked hard for 6 years, held at the launch site for 110 days, and held at the Beijing Aerospace Flight Control Center for 202 days. The first victory was to orbit Mars. After that, I held on for another 93 days to this day. What is the purpose? It is for today’s final victory!” Zhang Rongqiao said excitedly at the flight control center on May 15th.

At a press conference held by the National Space Administration in Beijing on June 12, Zhang Rongqiao said, “Achieving a circumnavigation in one step means that the development is more difficult. To put it more plainly, the possibility of failure increases. For our developers, we can bear it. Zhang Rongqiao said. Fortunately, there is the correct leadership of the Party Central Committee, and there are government organizations at all levels, especially the powerful organization of the National Space Administration, including the Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the launch site and measurement and control The competent departments have vigorously coordinated, and the fire detection research and development personnel have worked hard and overcome difficulties. “To put it more bluntly, it is the fire-detector’s vigor. We succeeded today. Looking back, the choice of this technical route is very correct.” Zhang Rongqiao said that overall it is more cost-effective, especially in terms of technology. It can achieve leapfrog development and make my country enter the world’s advanced ranks in the field of planetary exploration in a relatively short period of time. “Therefore, we said that the first Mars exploration mission was based on China’s national conditions and embarked on a path of aerospace development with Chinese characteristics.”

In the future, China will implement deep space exploration missions such as Mars sampling and return missions, near-Earth asteroid sampling and return and main belt comet orbiting missions, Jupiter system orbiting and planetary crossing missions. “Looking up at the stars and keeping your feet on the ground” are two words that Zhang Rongqiao likes very much. He said: “This is precisely what society needs for each of us, and it is a way for us to settle down in society. We need to stand on the present and look to the future.” Zhang Rongqiao Said: “Our knowledge and understanding of the universe is still very superficial. We should see that the world beyond the cradle is infinitely vast. Innovation never ends.”

The Top Ten People of the Year in Nature are records of important scientific developments and events this year, as well as some of the key figures and their colleagues. The top ten figures were selected by the editors of Nature and gathered individuals who influenced some of the most important scientific events in 2021.
