China Mars landing: Space agency follows Nasa in its own 'seven minutes of terror'

Don't show me this message again✕
A Chinese spacecraft successfully has landed on Mars, safely getting through its own “seven minutes of terror” and completing a technically challenging descent.
Its space agency is now only the second ever to make it through a landing on the red planet, and it serves as a major breakthrough in the country’s ambitions for space exploration.
The Zhurong robot – which features six wheels and a variety of scientific instruments for scouring the Martian surface – was carried to the planet by its Tianwen-1 orbiter. That had arrived at the planet in February, and has spent the time since surveying the planet to find the safest landing location for the rover and orbiter.
