On June 26 (42nd Mars Day), the rover arrived at a sand dune area and used the navigation terrain camera to take a high-resolution image of the red dune (Figure 3). The shooting point was about 6 meters away from the dune, and there were different sizes of sand dunes around. The stones, which are facing the rover, are about 0.34 meters wide.

On July 4 (50th Mars Day), the rover travelled to the south side of the sand dune to perceive and image the surrounding terrain. Figure 4 shows the overall view of the sand dune, which is about 40 meters in length, 8 meters in width and 0.6 meters in height. On the left side of Figure 5 is a cluster of rocks of various shapes. The back cover and parachute can be seen in the upper right corner. When imaging, the distance between the rover and the landing site is about 210 meters, and the distance between the back cover and the parachute is about 130 meters.

天问一号飞運騎遊達达3亿 …….As of 15th May 2021 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” Mars Lander – Mars rover successfully sent back telemetry signals and landed on Mars with a complete success

At 7:18 Hong Kong SAR – Beijing Time  on May 15th 2021 , the scientific research team confirmed according to the telemetry signal sent by the “Zhurong” Mars rover that the Tianwen 1 Landing Patrol successfully landed in the pre-selected landing zone in the southern Utopia Plain of Mars, and my country’s first Mars exploration mission landing on Mars was achieved. A complete success.

At about 1 am, the Tianwen-1 probe was de-orbited in its parked orbit, maneuvering to Mars and entering orbit. At about 4 o’clock, the landing patrol was separated from the orbiter. After about 3 hours of flight, it entered the Martian atmosphere. After about 9 minutes of deceleration, hovering, obstacle avoidance and buffering, it successfully landed on the pre-selected landing zone. About 30 minutes after the two devices are separated; the orbiter will ascend and return to the parking orbit to provide relay communication for the landing patrol device. In the follow-up, the “Zhurong” rover will successively carry out global imaging of the landing site, self-check, leave the landing platform and carry out inspections.

Hello, everyone, I am the “Zhu Rong” rover. Since I landed on Mars on the 15th, my friends on Earth have moved their benches and have been looking forward to seeing the pictures. I also asked anxiously, what am I up to?

No, today I have provided 2 pictures taken after landing, and a video of the separation of the two devices (the surround device and the landing patrol device) was added for a good value, so that everyone can feast their eyes on it.

Why have you waited so long?

As we all know, the farthest distance between Mars and the Earth is about 400 million kilometers, and radio waves travel at the speed of light, and the attenuation of signal energy is proportional to the square of the propagation distance.

I have configured two communication methods, one is to communicate directly with the earth, and the other is to communicate with the earth through the Tianwen-1 orbiter relay. Why do we need relay to communicate directly? That’s because I am about 320 million kilometers away from the earth, which is too far away. Even if I keep shouting with my throat, the earth can only receive very little data, which is too slow and can only send back the most important information. As soon as I landed on the 15th, I directly reported “I have landed and feel good” to my family, and my friends started cheering for me!

After landing, I took some photos with the camera I carried, and I can’t wait to share them with you. However, if it is sent directly back to the earth, even if it is a photo like Figure 1, it would theoretically take more than eight hours. And because of the rotation of Mars, I can communicate directly with the earth for less than half an hour every day, so I abandoned the function of directly transmitting images to the earth. Therefore, I have to wait for the repeater of the surround device. He is big and has a loud voice, and transmits data to the earth much faster than me.

On the 17th, the orbiter entered the relay orbit, and we first established a communication link. Because he orbits Mars for 8.2 hours, we are often blocked by the big guy Mars, so I have to pay close attention to the precious time of relaying, first send back some important data of my own state, and then send it back Image…..

Currently, I am preparing to leave the landing platform. In the follow-up, I will work closely with the orbiter, not only to take pictures of the Martian landscape, but also to use the six scientific payloads I carry to conduct in-depth exploration of Mars and send more scientific data back to the scientists for research. It’s more important than taking pictures……. !!!!!

On October 1st 2020, as China- People’s Republic of China also throughout the Chinese also the Asian Communities celebrates the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, CNSA China National Space Administration released China’s first Mars exploration mission Tianwen-1 exploration….. The image of the CNSA Belt and Road Initiative European Space Agency collaboration Martian Probe flying, the five-star red flag on the picture is dazzling, showing a bright Chinese red. This is the first deep space self-portrait of our country 天问一号 Martian probe. In the vast universe, the silver landing patrol device and the golden orbiter are shining brightly. Tianwen No.1 uses this to report safety to China and express birthday wishes.

Since this CNSA China – PROC’s first independent Mars exploration project was established, how to do a good job of visual monitoring of the working status of the Mars rover in orbit has become one of the important tasks facing the development team. In order to obtain the full picture of the “Tianwen No. 1” in the process of rushing to the fire, the Mars Orbiter Engineering Measurement Sub-system Team of the Eighth Academy specially designed a set of “little guys” with “small quality, small size and low energy consumption” “Composed of monitoring system.

As we all know, when taking selfies on the ground, you can use auxiliary tools such as selfie sticks to shoot after choosing the angle, light and shadow, but the selfie of “Tianwen No. 1” is not that simple. Due to its large size, if the selfie stick strategy is adopted, “Tianwen No.1” needs to use a 15-meter-long selfie stick to achieve a full-view selfie, which not only consumes resources, but is also prone to safety risks. For this reason, the Mars Orbiter Engineering Survey Sub-system Team of the Eighth Academy of Sciences proposed a “separated monitoring plan”, which is to “throw out” a light camera under suitable lighting conditions to take pictures of “Tianwen No. 1” and transmit the images in real time. Go back to the “Tianwen No. 1” probe.

Have you seen a one-time dual-head super wifi camera?

In order to successfully implement the separate monitoring program, the Eighth Academy Mars Orbiter Engineering Measurement Sub-system team needs a little guy who can “divide, shoot clearly, pass back, and hold on”: use a small, small, low-impact unlocking separation device The camera can be “divided out”; the use of colour imaging, the configuration of 800×600, 1600X1200 two-level resolution camera allows the image to be “clearly captured”; the use of super Wi-Fi communication that can achieve 400 meters of wireless communication allows data “Passed back”; the use of disposable batteries that can provide power for longer than 1 hour allows the camera to “hold on”, allowing the ground to see the full picture of the “Tianwen No. 1” rushing to the fire.

Considering that the camera may turn over as it gradually moves away from the detector, the development team designed the camera as a dual-headed front and back to ensure that the camera can capture as many detector images as possible during the turning process. After four years of research and development, this little guy weighing about 950g successfully carried the “Tianwen-1” Mars probe into space, and successfully separated the head weighing about 680g, and obtained a clear image. Successfully completed the overall visual monitoring task of “Tianwen No. 1”

The name “Tianwen”: 天問 ….. Comes from the long poem of the same name written by Qu Yuan (about 340–278 BC), one of the greatest poets of Ancient China. It is a poem of a series of questions starting with how the universe was created….
