  Images released by China’s space agency have captured Mars’ red, flat and rock-covered surface in detail, along with the rover and landing platform that touched down on the Martian surface last month. A series of high-resolution images published on the China National Space Administration’s (CNSA) website on Friday show the terrain of the red planet in color (and it does look red), as well as the landing platform and the Zhurong rover, the CNSA said.   The next picture, showing the landing platform, was taken when the Mars rover moved away from the platform by about six meters. The lander displays the Chinese flag and the outlines of the mascots for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics. China's Tianwen-1 mission, consisting of an orbiter, a landing platform and a rover, was launched last July. The lander, which carried the rover, touched down in Utopia Planitia, a vast plain in the northern hemisphere of Mars, on May 15. The Zhurong rover drove down from its landing platform to the Martian surface on May 22, starting its exploration of the Red Planet. It has been surveying the area for 28 Martian days (a Martian day is approximately 40 minutes longer than a day on Earth). The rover is surveying the Martian surface and looking for signs of water or ice that could help us understand whether there was ever life on Mars. This is the latest batch of images released by the CNSA since the orbiter’s landing. Link |

Disappointed, the Chinese abandoned future Mars missions after realizing there were no patents to violate on the red planet

Maybe there is a reason that rovers look so similar, maybe that reason is they stole our designs. China has not done one thing original in modern times.

Our own orbital platform got pics of it on the surface.

They will put people on Mars like we should have been doing 30 years ago from our Moon base that should have been built 40 years ago. Fuck China. |

How was that top picture taken of the two components, lander and rover, are in the photo? Did the orbiter decided to come along to the surface also? Edit: I need to type faster... |
