8月30日來自國家航天局的消息,自今年5月22日祝融號火星車首次駛上火星表面,如今其巡火之旅已滿100天。
The rover is part of China's Tianwen-1 mission that also consists of an orbiter and a lander. The mission was launched on July 23, 2020. As of Monday, Zhurong has traveled 1,064 meters on the surface of Mars, while the orbiter has been in orbit for 403 days. The two are in good condition and functioning properly, according to the CNSA.
祝融號火星車是我國火星探測任務(wù)"天問一號"的一部分,"天問一號"探測器由火星車(巡視器)、環(huán)繞器和著陸器三部分組成,于2020年7月23日成功發(fā)射。截至8月30日,祝融號火星車?yán)塾?jì)行駛1064米,環(huán)繞器在軌運(yùn)行403天,目前兩者均狀態(tài)良好,運(yùn)行平穩(wěn)。
The probes will experience a sun outage in mid-to-late September when the Sun is aligned with Earth and Mars, with the solar radiation interfering with the communication between the probes and ground stations. The orbiter and rover will stop working until the sun outage comes to an end, the space administration said.
