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 |

the Chinese journal Scientia Sinica Technologica has a lot of papers on TW-1 and Zhurong in its latest issue (unfortunately, most if not all papers are in Chinese)
