The National Space Administration of China (CNSA) has published a new photo of Mars taken by the Zhurong rover ("Zhuzhong"). This is reported by CNN.

In the black-and-white image, you can see a deserted Martian landscape, as well as the prints of the rover's wheels. The spacecraft is exploring the surface of the red planet as part of a three-month mission. Chinese scientists hope that Zhurong will collect important information about the geological structure of Mars, its atmosphere and soil. The rover will also look for signs of life, including any underground water or ice.

Earlier, the Chinese space Administration published a video from Mars. The footage shows an endless yellowish-brown desert, as well as Martian valleys and small craters. You can also see the moment of the opening of the parachute of the lander and the crossing of the surface of the planet by the Zhurong rover ("Zhuzhong").

The first Chinese probe to study Mars, Tianwen-1, with the Zhuzhong rover was launched at the end of July. The total weight of Tianwen-1 is about five tons, of which 3.7 tons fall on the orbital station. In May 2021, the device made a successful landing on the planet.
