Ua pae ʻo Kina i kāna mau robots mua ma ka ʻili o Mars i ka Pōʻalima, nā media pili aupunihoʻopaʻa ʻiama ka pāpili kaiapili, lilo ʻo ia i ʻāina ʻelua i hana maikaʻi ma hope o ka lanakila ʻana i kahi pae pae wiwo ʻole ʻehiku mau minuke.Ua hoʻokuʻu aku ka mokuahi Tianwen-1 o ka ʻāina i ka puʻupuʻu rover-lander no kahi pā Martian ma kahi o 7PM ET, e hoʻomaka ana i kahi misionari e aʻo ai i ke aniau a me ka geology o ka Red Planet.

ʻO ka misionari ka huakaʻi kūʻokoʻa mua o Kina i Mars, ma kahi o 200 miliona mau mile mai ka Honua.ʻO NASA wale nō ka mea i hoʻokō pono i ka pae ʻana a me ka hana ʻana i nā rovers ma ka honua i ka wā i hala.(Ua pae ka mokuahi Mars 3 o ka Soviet Union ma ka honua i ka makahiki 1971 a ua kamaʻilio ma kahi o 20 kekona ma mua o ka pōʻeleʻele.) ʻO ka huakaʻi a Kina, e pili ana i ʻekolu mau mokulele e hana pū ana, he paʻakikī no ka manawa mua - ʻo ka misionari US mua, ʻo Viking 1 i ka makahiki 1976, ua hoʻokomo wale ʻia kahi pae ʻāina mai kāna noiʻi.

Ua pae ka pae ʻana ma Utopia Planitia, kahi pālahalaha o ka ʻāina Martian a me ka ʻāina like kahi i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ai ka Viking 2 o ka NASA ma 1976. Ma hope o ka hoʻopā ʻana i lalo, e wehe ka mea ʻāina i kahi alahele a kau i ka Zhurong rover o Kina, he ʻeono huila solar- ʻO ka lopako mana i kapa ʻia ma muli o ke akua o ke ahi ma ka moʻolelo kahiko o Kina.Lawe ka rover i kahi hui o nā mea hana ma luna, me nā kāmela ʻelua, kahi Mars-Rover Subsurface Exploration Radar, Mars Magnetic Field Detector, a me Mars Meteorology Monitor.

Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka mokulele Tianwen-1 mai ka Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site ma ka ʻāina ʻo Hainan ma Kina i ka lā 23 Iulai i ka makahiki i hala, e hoʻomaka ana i kahi huakaʻi ʻehiku mahina i ka Red Planet."Ua hana maʻamau ka mokulele mokulele" mai kona komo ʻana i ka orbit Mars i Pepeluali, ua ʻōlelo ka China National Space Administration (CNSA) i kahi ʻōlelo i ke kakahiaka Pōʻalima.Ua hōʻiliʻili ʻo ia i ka "nui nui" o ka ʻikepili ʻepekema a paʻi i nā kiʻi o Mars i kona ʻōpuni.

ʻO ka Tianwen-1 orbiter, e hoʻopaʻa ana i ka puʻupuʻu rover-lander, ke ʻimi nei i ka pae ʻāina ʻo Utopia Planitia no ʻekolu mahina, e lele kokoke ana i Mars i kēlā me kēia 49 hola i kahi orbit elliptical (he ʻano orbital orbital), e like me kaAndrew Jones, he mea kākau moʻolelo e uhi ana i nā hana a Kina ma ka lewa.

I kēia manawa ma ka ʻaoʻao o Martian, e hoʻomaka ka Zhurong rover i kahi misionari ma kahi o ʻekolu mau mahina e aʻo ai i ke aniau a me ka geology o Mars.

"ʻO ka hana nui o Tianwen-1 ka hana ʻana i kahi noiʻi honua a ākea o ka honua holoʻokoʻa me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka orbiter, a e hoʻouna i ka rover i nā wahi ili o nā makemake ʻepekema e hana i nā noiʻi kikoʻī me ka pololei a me ka hoʻonā kiʻekiʻe," nā ʻepekema kiʻekiʻe o ka misionari.kākau i lokoNature Astronomyi ka makahiki aku nei.ʻO ka rover ma kahi o 240kg ʻaneʻane ʻelua ʻelua ka nui o nā rover Yutu Moon o Kina.

ʻO Tianwen-1 ka inoa o ka huakaʻi holoʻokoʻa ma Mars, i kapa ʻia ma hope o ka mele lōʻihi "Tianwen," ʻo ia hoʻi "Nīnau i ka lani."Hōʻailona ia i ka mea hou loa i ka holomua wikiwiki o ka holomua ʻana i ka ʻimi ākea no Kina.Ua lilo ka ʻāina i lāhui mua i ka mōʻaukalaʻāina a hoʻohana i ka roverma ka ʻaoʻao mamao o ka mahina i ka makahiki 2019. Ua hoʻopau pū ʻia apōkole lunar sample missioni Kekemapa i ka makahiki i hala, e hoʻolana ana i kahi lopako i ka Moon a hoʻihoʻi wikiwiki iā ia i ka Honua me kahi huna o nā pōhaku Moon no ka loiloi.

I kēia mau lā, ua hoʻokumu ʻo Kina i ka module kumu mua o kāna kahua kikowaena i hoʻolālā ʻia, ʻo Tianhe, kahi e lilo ai i wahi noho no nā hui o nā astronauts.ʻO ka rocket nāna i hoʻokuʻu i kēlā module i hoʻopuka i kahihauʻoli honuama kahi o ka Honua e komo hou ai.(ʻO ka hopekomo houma luna o ka Moana Inia, a ʻo nā ʻāpana nui o ka pōhaku i hāʻule i lalo ma kahi o 30 mau mile mai kahi mokupuni ma Maldives, wahi a ke aupuni Kina.)

ʻOiai ʻo kēia huakaʻi nui i Mars me kāna ʻekolu o nā robots ʻekolu, ʻike ʻia ka manaʻo o Kina i ka mahina - ʻo ia ka huakaʻi koke no ka papahana Artemis o NASA.Ma mua o kēia makahiki, Kinahoʻolaha i nā hoʻolālāe kūkulu i kahi kikowaena lunar a hoʻokumu i ka ʻili o ka Moon me Russia, ka hoa lōʻihi o NASA ma ka International Space Station.
