The objectives of the mission are quite ambitious: the first is to ensure the health of technology and communication controls designed for the mission, with Zurong playing the role of field discovery and media records.
On the other hand, the satellite will be in charge of locating a favorable terrain for combining the sample collection structure, when future missions return to the planet.
In addition to the images above, the Chinese government also released two videos of Zurong’s descent, which are still on the landing module. The capture was made by a satellite camera, which shows the capsule emanating from the satellite.
With his arrival, China became the third country to land on Mars before the Soviet Union and the United States. Zurong, weighing approximately 250 kg, carries six instruments of analysis, including sample collectors and geological and climatic studies from the Utopia Planitia region. He is expected to continue his work for about three months.
