Technologies China uses on its Mars probe Tianwen 1's rover

China's Mars probe Tianwen-1's rover has been named "Zhurong" before its planned landing to start exploring the red planet.

The global campaign to name the rover was launched last July, one day after the launch of Tianwen-1. "Zhurong," which won out, represents a fire god in ancient Chinese mythology.

Tianwen-1 is currently orbiting Mars to prepare for landing in May or June. CGTN has produced an immersive journey, "Tianwen-1 to Mars," that allows readers to witness one of the most ambitious space exploration projects in history. Join us to see how Tianwen-1 will complete orbiting, landing and roving in one mission.

That's a lot of technologies incorporated for a standard rover. Hence why the research potential of this small piece of machinery is enormous. Keep it up!

I hope the cameras are just as good if not better than those on the Perseverance rover.

All in just one go. Incredible feat. Best wishes from Earthling.

its a wonderful achievement but i wish the rover had a rtg on board to have a fool proof power source + heating but i am no expert here im just a guy on a computer

but still landing a rover on another planet is a feat in itself much praise

China is getting better n better in space technologies n its innovations. Once it has mastered the latest in chip technologies.
it'll be well on the way to No1 in all technologies !
