Onboard is the country s Zhurong lander, which is currently surveying the surrounding environment and will soon be rolled out to study the Martian environment from the surface. China s Tianwen-1 mission was launched in July last year and carried an orbiter, lander and rover towards Mars over a journey lasting nearly seven months. After entering the planet s orbit in February, the spacecraft spent more than two months searching for a landing site, before mission scientists settled on a plain in the northern hemisphere called Utopia Planitia.
