For those who haven't already seen, there is excellent work independently tracking and predicting the trajectory of Tianwen-1 by radio amateurs (using that word only technically, since they are very much pros).
The latest is predicting orbital insertion at 8 seconds before 1200 UTC on Wednesday 10 February, with a 386 km periapsis - burn starts a few minutes before that if you, like me, are planning your peanut consumption carefully this week. Plenty of details to be found at these links (even a GMAT script and Jupyter notebook, and some doppler data, for the astrodynamically inclined). https://destevez.net/tag/tianwen/ Daniel Estévez recent twitter thread with MOI images Scott Tilley recent twitter thread |

News on the future first photo... https://twitter.com/MarsZhurong/status/1392718169006030848 English is my first language, but this literally does not make any sense. "Tokenized"? NFT? And who are Fude Sports, apparently "the copyright owner of the photo"? The whole thing sounds ridiculous - unless someone here sees something I don't? |
