Further thinking
Why Tianwen-1 was sent to space on 23 July 2020?
Mars is far away from the Earth. According to scientists, the best time to send the probe (探测器) to Mars is between mid-July and mid-August this year when the distance between the Earth and Mars is the shortest in their orbits (轨道).
The scientists could get the chance every 26 months.
Why is the rover named Zhurong?
China’s first Mars rover is named Zhurong after the god of fire in ancient Chinese mythology (神话), which echoes with the Chinese name of the red planet: Huoxing (the planet of fire).
Watch the video and learn more about China’s space exploration.
