Tianwen-1 reached Mars orbit in February. In February, the US Space Agency NASA's Perseverance Rover also landed on Mars. He has also started his scientific work after a long time of testing there now. NASA has also sent a helicopter Ingenuity which has completed five of its successful flights. Apart from these two countries, this year the United Arab Emirates spacecraft hope has also reached the orbit of Mars which will revolve around the orbit of Mars and will prepare a detailed map of it.


Tianwen-1 mission is at work

The orbiter of Tianwen-1 has given several photographs before landing. A video was taken from the Small Engineering Survey sub-system camera of Tianwen-1, in whose frame Mars was seen. After this, the edge of the atmosphere of Mars was seen. Crater also appeared on the surface of Mars. The second video showed a picture taken with the monitoring camera of the tracking antenna of Tianwen-1. Many small monitoring cameras are installed in the engineering survey sub-system.
