Explanation:
There's a new rover on Mars.
In mid-May,
China's
Tianwen-1 mission delivered
the
Zhurong rover onto the
red planet.
As Mars means Planet of Fire in Chinese, the
Zhurong rover's name means, roughly, God of Fire in
Chinese mythology.
Zhurong landed in northern
Utopia Planitia,
the largest known impact basin in the Solar System, and
an area reported to have
much underground ice.
Among many other
scientific instruments, Zhurong carries
ground-penetrating radar that can detect ice buried even 100-meters deep.
Car-sized Zhurong is pictured here next to its landing base.
The image was snapped by a remote camera deployed by the rolling rover.
Zhurong's planned 90-day mission includes studying the
geology, soil, and atmosphere of Mars in
Utopia Planitia.
