For the first few months of 2021, the Martian atmosphere was buzzing with new visitors from Earth. In February, both the UAE Space Agency’s Hope probe and China’s Tianwen-1 entered Mars’ orbit.
On February 19, NASA landed the Perseverance rover with its companion, the Ingenuity helicopter, both of which have been setting new milestones since.
The next visitor to the planet will be Tianwen-1 mission’s rover Zhurong, which will attempt to reach the surface of Mars in mid-May. To enter the Martian atmosphere, it will use a slightly different technique from previous missions.
