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. |

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). Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Wow! Tianwen-1 observed from a deployed sub-satellite. 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 Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena"

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".

Image taken 11/march... freshly... Interesting comparation beetween Hirise from June/2021 and March/2022 on the tracks, to see how the dust act on then... -------------------- "The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena"

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