Tianwen-1, China’s first Mars exploration mission, was launched on July 23rd 2020 and successfully entered Mars orbit on February 10th 2021. After surveying the potential landing area for about three months using the Tianwen-1 orbiter, the Zhurong rover successfully landed on the Martian surface on May 14th 2021. The landing site is on the Utopia Planitia of northern lowland, Mars (109.925E 25.066 N). The Zhurong rover has travelled more than 1000 meters till August 30th 2021 and collected scientific data on its way. Carried thirteen scientific payloads (7 on the orbiter and 6 on the rover), Tianwen-1 mission aims to investigate the Martian morphology, geology, mineralogy, space environment, and the distributions of water ice. The speaker will present an overview and the scientific goals of Tianwen-1 mission.
