I cant find much information on the instrument loadout of the Zhurong rover but it appears to be packed with instruments. Does anybody have a rundown on what CNSA is trying to study here? Or is it more of a technology demonstrator?


Some information here:

https://spacenews.com/chinas-zhurong-mars-r...topia-planitia/

It mentions 6 science payloads.

Here is a somewhat detailed article from the State Key Laboratory of Lunar and Planetary Sciences, M.U.S.T./ Macau Space Exploration and Science Center of the National Space Administration.

The Wikipedia entry is also worth reading.

Wow! Tianwen-1 observed from a deployed sub-satellite.

Very cool indeed! The website linked to by Andrew Jones here:

https://twitter.com/AJ_FI/status/1477077043435163650

(same one Hungry4info linked to) also has a surface image from Zhurong, and says the rover has driven 1400 m in 225 days (I assume that means sols).

That's the third deployable camera of the mission (2 on orbiter, 1 on rover) I really liked this feature, but i believed the deployable camera on the rover should be reusable..

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)

That whole HiRISE section is amazing. I look forward to the on-ground view of that "ejecta scar".

Check out this article:

https://news.sina.com.cn/c/2022-03-24/doc-i...ii0221404.shtml

Images of Zhurong from orbit recently, plus orbital views and even an image of Perseverance during its last sampling operation near the landing site.

Thank you very much Phil for the link !
This Chinese publication was anticipated since a new HiRISE image was published wink.gif
