China s first Mars rover has driven down its landing platform to roam the on the surface of the red planet. Rover Zhurong, left its module for the first time on Saturday (May 22) morning.
China landed the spacecraft carrying the rover on Mars on May 15 in a technically challenging feat that is more difficult than a moon landing.
Zhurong, named after the Chinese god of fire, is the second rover to land on another planet, after the U.S rover Perseverance in February. Like the U.S. mission, it is searching for traces of life.
The Chinese mission will only last about 90 days not least because the equipment is solar-powered; unlike the American probes which have a plutonium-based nuclear power generator to provide them with abundant energy.
