China’s first “Mars exploration” has a huge collection of scientific data
BEIJING, September 19 (Xinhua) – The Chinese National Space Administration on Sunday (September 18). It revealed that China’s first Mars exploration mission Capable of collecting large amounts of scientific data
The Tianwen-1 mission orbiter ran smoothly for over 780 days.
As of Thursday, Zhurong departed on the surface of Mars for 1,921 meters.
(September 15) Both ships completed their scientific exploration missions as planned. and the collection of 1,480 gigabytes of raw scientific data
The Tianwen-1 spacecraft This includes the orbiter, lander and probe, which land on pre-selected landing areas. Utopia Planitia, a gigantic plain on Mars, on May 15, 2021 marks the first time that China has landed a spacecraft on the planet.
Chinese researchers conducted a detailed study of the general topography of the landing site. It encompasses concave topography, craters and trenches and reveals important links between ridge formation and water activity.
while observing camera images and spectral data Researchers found aqueous minerals in a plate near the landing site. This shows that there has been a lot of liquid water activity at the landing site since 1 billion years ago.
The researchers also found that the ground at the landing site had a huge load and low friction. Combining camera images with probe motion traces and other information
These new data reveal the impact of wind and water activity on geological evolution and environmental change on Mars. It supports the hypothesis that an ocean once existed in the plain of Utopia Planitia and strengthens the scientific understanding of geological evolution and environmental change on Mars.
The researchers also used data from the Tianwen-1 survey. For scientific results, such as the ratio of the density of rocks on the Martian surface to the degree of surface erosion. Distribution of neutral ions and particles in space environments near Mars. including the gravitational field of Mars
