China’s Mars probe’Tianyuan 1’is expected to enter Mars orbit on the 10th (local time), and the National Space Agency of China (CNSA) first released a picture of Mars sent by Tianyuan 1 on the 5th. The China National Space Agency said on the homepage that “Tianyuan 1’s arrival to Mars was imminent, and it started to correct the orbit.”
According to the National Space Agency of China, the photo was taken by Tianyuan 1 from about 2.2 million kilometers from Mars. As of this day, Tianwon 1 reached 1.1 million kilometers from Hwaseong Fortress. It is about 184 million kilometers away from Earth.
Pictures of the surface of Mars taken by Tianyuan 1 also captured the crater of Schiaparelli and the massive canyon, the Valles Marineris. Mariner Gorge is 4000km long and 10km deep, making it the largest canyon in the solar system.
Mariner Gorge (No. 5) was also captured in the Mars rover’Tianyuan 1′, which was released on the website of the National Space Agency of China (CNSA) on the 5th. CNSA provided

Tianyuan 1 was launched on July 23rd last year at the Wenchang space launch site in Hainan on Changjeong 5, China’s largest transport rocket, followed by two “selfies” to commemorate the national holiday on October 1 last year. It was also the first time he announced his’survival’. The release of this photo confirms for the first time that Tianyuan 1 has succeeded in proximity to Hwaseong Fortress.
The National Space Agency of China slowed down before Tianyuan 1 entered Mars’ gravitational sphere on the 10th and tried to enter orbit. Explained that he was trying to land in the south.
If Tianyuan 1 successfully lands on Mars, it will be the third country in the world to land on Mars after the United States and the former Soviet Union. It also sets a record for the first success of its own Mars exploration. China launched its first Mars exploration on a Russian rocket in 2011, launching the Mars probe’Ying-Hoon 1′, but had to postpone exploration due to a failed rocket launch.
