Here is the first surface image I have seen: https://m.weibo.cn/u/7924225687#&gid=1&pid=1 Phil [attachment=55026:flag_raised.jpg] Screengrabs from CCTV. I counted EIGHT scoop trenches in the sampling area pictured. |

I wonder what the rover's purpose is (any instruments, or just a camera to watch the ascent from a safe distance), like the deployables on the Mars rover?
EDIT: that was fast, away it goes! |

Full summary of the surface operations, including more than 10 minutes of video, are at CNSA's website - but I have trouble downloading them.
I've found more concise versions (surface sampling, sub-surface drilling and ascent stage liftoff), you may found them on Twitter or on NSF forums (too big to attach here).

More photos from CNSA:
First two are descent camera photos during the descent phase The third one is from the descent camera just after touchdown The fourth one is from the panoramic camera's north side view with Chaffee crater in the background (edit: better resolution image now up; full version is here) -------------------- UMSF - the place of Opportunity to satisfy your Spirit of Curiosity via Perseverance

Very nice! Thanks.
I have been looking at the sample collection videos and there are enough details to put together this sequence. Ci and C2 are surface contacts made by the circular part of the sampling mechanism before the first two samples were dug. If more contacts were made throughout the sequence, they have not shown up yet in videos. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
