A historic achievement in space, this time a Chinese rover touched the ground of Mars

History averages China. Beijing's Mars rover Tiangwen-1's Jurong rover landed on Mars late Saturday night. This success in their first mission to the Red Planet undoubtedly put China next to the world's leading space missions. Incidentally, this spacecraft has been orbiting Mars since last February. 

Accompanied by a rover, the Tianwen-1 lander spent "seven minutes of panic" and landed safely on Mars on a parachute. It landed in the pre-determined 'Utopia Planicia' region. 

China's state-run Xinhua news agency has given the green light to the news of the landing, according to the China National Space Administration.

Jurong will visit there on at least 90 Mars days. It will collect various samples in the long run. The structure of the surface of Mars will be examined. Will look for ice. If there is an important issue, it will be closely monitored. China has high hopes for the Mars mission. Chi Wang, head of the country's space research agency, claims that this mission is going to be the best mission to Mars so far. He claimed that they would observe the weather of the fourth planet of the solar system, starting from the surface and the details. This will lead to more new information about the red planet.

Incidentally, Tianwen-1 entered the orbit of Mars last February. In the same month, two spacecraft from the United States and the United Arab Emirates entered the orbit. U.S. Rover Perseverance has made a name for itself on Mars. But according to China's plan, its rover would separate and land on the planet's surface as it orbits Mars for three months. 

Beijing wants to reach many milestones in space exploration in the next few years. Already sending people into space, successes like space missions to the moon are in their crown. This time, in the first mission, Beijing landed a rover on the ground of Mars and practically beat Russia and America in a 'space race'. Sources: Space, New York Times, CNN, Xinhua, NBC News
