Zhurong-0066.jpgUtopia Planitia93 visiteChina’s first Mars Rover reveals (really?!?) how weather and ancient water changed the Surface of the largest impact basin on Mars. China's Zhurong rover landed in the Utopia Planitia, an about 2.000-miles-wide basin located in the Northern Hemisphere of Mars, in May 2021. Since then, the Rover has been studying local geology, chemical composition of rocks, and local weather conditions using its six scientific instruments.
A new study based on data from Zhurong’s first 60 Soles (roughly 62 Earth Days) on the planet reveals how weather and interaction with water altered the rocks around Zhurong's Landing Site over millions of years.MareKromium

ZHURONG-0001-210519091428-01-china-mars-rover-images-0519-exlarge-169.jpgZhurong, First Picture from Utopia Planitia92 visiteChina has released the first images taken by its Mars rover, Zhurong.
A black-and-white image taken by the rover's obstacle avoidance camera shows a deployed ramp and the flat Martian surface where Zhurong landed on Saturday.
The color image taken by a navigation camera of the rear of the solar-powered rover showed that its solar panel and antenna have unfolded normally, the China National Space Administration said Wednesday.
The space agency said Zhurong, named after a god of fire in Chinese mythology, was preparing to leave the lander and drive onto the surface of Mars, where it will begin patrolling and exploring as part of its three-month mission to search for signs or evidence of ancient life on the red planet.
China's Mars mission succeeded in entering the planet's orbit and landing a rover that could traverse the Martian surface in one go. It took NASA multiple missions to complete those challenging steps, albeit decades before China, between 1971 and 1997.MareKromium
