China Published Some Video From Its Zhurong Mars Rover Tianwen-1 Satellite Circling The Red Planet.
The Chinese space agency has released a video of the rover Zhurong moving on the surface of Mars. The photos were taken with a wireless camera that the robot placed on the floor. The new edition of the media also includes a sequence from Jurong's May landing, showing the location of his parachute system and the moment of his touch.
This six-wheeled robot explores the region known as Mount Utopia.
According to China's National Space Agency CNSA, Jurong has crossed 236 meters in 42 areas of Mars (as of June 27). Salt is Mars day. At 24 hours and 39 minutes, it lasts slightly longer than Earth Day. Media label Zhurong Robot wiggles its wheels while standing next to its landing platform. The latest films are broadcast to Earth via the Tianwen-1 satellite orbiting the Red Planet.
"Orbiter and rover are in good condition, safely reported by Mars to party and home country, and sent far-reaching blessings for this century from the very beginning of the party," said a CNSA press release.
A video message is expected primarily for the May 14 landing. Some preview photos of the parachute system of the rover's entry capsule were distributed last week.
However, in the film version, we see how the shell expands in the thinning Martian atmosphere. We also saw Zhurong and her landing platform move away from the capsule's "backshell"; And finally, the downward-facing camera captures the tactile moment as the platform's rocket engine blasts off a dust-free surface.
Media signature Zhurong Robot moving away from the wireless camera on the ground. There are three videos on the surface. The first, probably shortly after Jurong placed the wireless camera on the floor, indicating that the robot was backing off. The second video shows Jurong moving his wheels while sitting on the landing platform. CNSA previously published a frame from this scene.
