two fantastic pdfs found on the Novosti Kosmonavtiki forum and presented at the 7th UK - China Workshop on Space Science and Technology
Chinese Mars Exploration Mission Analysis
Concept Research of Mars Penetrator
I just love the Yinghuo with penetrators proposal, and the small lander has that ExoMars-esque look...

Do I see aerobreaking down the orbit? It would help probe the atmosphere. (my translator isn't clear on this)

by the way, the probe and its mission look remarkably similar to those in this presentation I posted one year ago. the launch date appears to have slipped to 2016 and 2018. I guess the mission is still in the project phase and has not yet received the governmental go-ahead

I have recently seen rumors that a 2018 Chinese Mars mission has recently passed critical reviews - flying an orbiter and a rover (no, I am not kidding! pancam.gif wheel.gif ) at the same time! That's with the ExoMars rover landing at the same window and MAX-C take 2 coming only 2 years later......

I have the links for the source of rumors here.

The two flat circular solar panels (reminiscent of Phoenix?) make it ideal for serving drinks at conferences!

I was wondering, reading Scott's analysis and looking at the photos, whether this prototype Mars rover is meant to look like an actual thing that would get sent to Mars, or whether it's more akin to JPL's FIDO rovers, which was a rover explicitly designed for working on Earth to test systems being developed as prototypes for future Mars systems.

It seems kinda streamlined, for some odd reason. Maybe it's a more efficient use of volume for encapsulation or something.

It looks like the Mars 2020 mission has got a GO from SASTIND:

http://news.sina.com.cn/c/2014-11-29/061031220714.shtml

An orbiter and a rover is planned for the 2020 mission. Nothing new from earlier rumors, except the go-ahead message from SASTIND.

the Chinese Mars mission has been officially approved by the government last January, for launch in 2020 (the same launch window as the new US rover, the UAE orbiter and possibly ExoMars "2018"). It will likely consist of an orbiter, some sort of lander and a rover
