China has published new photos of Mars from the Tianwen 1 probe – RBK

In honor of the New Year, China’s National Space Administration has released four new photographs of Mars. They were made by the Tianwen-1 probe, which has been operating on the planet since February 2021, together with the Chzhurong rover.

China’s National Space Administration has released new images of Mars taken by the Tianwen 1 probe. Images posted on the management site.

A general photograph of the probe and Mars, a close-up of the Tianwen 1 orbiter, the planet’s North Pole Cap and the Chzhurong rover, which photographs the surface of Mars, are presented. The agency decided to release the images to assure that Tianwen 1 is safe.

The frames capture the orbiter itself – it is golden in color, and part of the surface of Mars. In addition to the polar ice caps, consisting of dry (solid carbon dioxide) and water ice, you can see the crater named after the Soviet designer Sergei Korolev and the Olympia dune field. In the image with the rover, you can see the typical relief of the planet.

It is noted that the orbiter and rover are working normally and are in good condition.
