Start Tianwen-1 BY REDAKCJA ON 2 SIERPNIA 2020
(...) 23 lipca o godzinie 06:41 CEST z Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site wystartowała chińska rakieta Long March 5, na pokładzie której znajdują się orbiter, lądownik i łazik. Ważący prawie 5 ton statek kosmiczny przygotowany został do wielomiesięcznej eksploracji Marsa. Głównym celem misji jest zbadanie atmosfery i klimatu na powierzchni Marsa oraz stworzenie mapy geologicznej planety. Nazwa Tianwen-1 oznacza w wolnym tłumaczeniu „pytania do niebios” i pochodzi z wiersza o tej samej nazwie, autorstwa Qu Yuana (około 340-278 p.n.e.).
Misja ma dotrzeć do Czerwonej Planety w 2021 roku. Na orbicie pojawi się już w połowie lutego, ale lądowanie nastąpi około dwa miesiące później. Lądownik wraz z łazikiem zostaną odłączone od orbitera i wyruszą na spotkanie z powierzchnią planety. Po wylądowaniu łazik zjedzie z lądownika po specjalnej rampie by rozpocząć swoją pracę, która ma trwać 90 dni marsjańskich. (...)

A Mars probe is launched on a Long March-5 rocket from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in south China's Hainan Province, July 23, 2020. (Xinhua/Cai Yang)WENCHANG, Hainan, July 23 (Xinhua) -- China launched a Mars probe on Thursday, aiming to complete orbiting, landing and roving in one mission, and taking the first step in its planetary exploration of the solar system.
A Long March-5 rocket, China's largest launch vehicle, carrying the spacecraft with a mass of about 5 tonnes, soared into the sky from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site on the coast of southern China's island province of Hainan at 12:41 p.m. (Beijing Time).
About 36 minutes later, the spacecraft, including an orbiter and a rover, was sent into the Earth-Mars transfer orbit, embarking on an almost seven-month journey to the red planet, according to the China National Space Administration (CNSA).
China's first Mars mission is named Tianwen-1, which means Questions to Heaven and comes from a poem written by Qu Yuan (about 340-278 BC), one of the greatest poets of ancient China. The name signifies the Chinese nation's perseverance in pursuing truth and science and exploring nature and the universe, said the CNSA. Enditem

(...) The successful development of Long March-5 rockets is the result of cooperation and coordination across various industries in the country. More than 16,000 people from five research institutes under China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) undertook the research and development work.
More than 900 organizations from industries like metallurgy, chemical industry, electronics, and transportation outside CASC have provided support for the research and development work. (...)

(...) Chinese scientists are preparing for more missions in the Tianwen series, including ventures to return rock samples from Mars and an asteroid, to perform a flyby of Jupiter and to explore the margins of the sun's vast heliosphere. But if Tianwen-1 reaches Mars as planned, "it will put China in the space exploration business in a big way," said Logsdon.
"Mars mission would put China among space leaders ... A Mars landing is among the most challenging feats in spaceflight," said the Science magazine in a news piece published on June 25.

BEIJING, July 24 (Xinhua) -- After landing on Mars, China's Tianwen-1 probe will detect the surface and internal structure of the red planet by using its onboard radar equipment.
A ground-penetrating radar, a key probe instrument, was developed by the Aerospace Information Research Institute under the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is expected to survey the Martian soil and ice, and to collect data about the structure beneath the planet's surface at depths of between 10 and 100 meters. (...)

XI'AN, July 24 (Xinhua) -- Ground stations of China's deep space monitoring network are tracking the country's Mars probe, which had been sent into the Earth-Mars transfer orbit, sources with Xi'an Satellite Control Center said on Friday.
Operated by the control center, the network consists of three monitoring stations, two in China and one in Argentina. The stations in Kashgar of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and in Jiamusi of northeast Heilongjiang Province were put into use in 2012, while the station overseas began operations in 2017.

(...) More than 40 Mars missions have been launched since the 1960s, but only about half have succeeded. The success rate for landing is even lower, and only the United States has succeeded in soft landing on Mars.
"We only have a limited understanding of Mars. There are still many uncertainties about the environment and great risks," said Geng. (...)
