So, what is the latest news about Zhurong in 2022? When did you land on Mars? Why is there no movement? 1. The latest news about Zhurong in 2022 As of May 5, 2022, the Tianwen-1 orbiter has been in orbit for 651 days, 240 million kilometers away from the Earth. The Zhurong Mars rover has been working on the surface of Mars for 347 Martian days, with a total mileage of 1,921 meters. The two devices have acquired a total of approximately 940GB of original scientific data and are operating normally. The Lunar Exploration and Space Engineering Center of the National Space Administration said on the 6th that the northern hemisphere of Mars has entered winter, and it is expected to enter the coldest season of the year in mid-to-late July. The Zhurong Mars rover is also prepared for this. Mars' rotation period is close to that of the Earth. A Martian day is only about 40 minutes longer than that of the Earth. Therefore, Mars also has alternations of day and night and four seasons like the Earth. The orbital period of Mars is about 687 days, that is, one Martian year is equivalent to 1.9 Earth years, which means that the average duration of each season on Mars is about twice that on Earth. 2. When did Zhurong land on Mars? Zhurong landed on Mars at 7:18 am on May 15, 2021, and has been active on Mars for nearly a year. On May 17, 2022, the Zhurong Mars rover transmitted telemetry data back through the orbiter for the first time. At 10:40 a.m. on May 22, the Zhurong Mars rover safely left the landing platform, reached the surface of Mars, and began patrol and exploration. 3. Why is there no movement on Zhurong in 2022? Because the area where the Zhurong Mars rover is currently located has entered winter. The average duration of each season on Mars is about twice that of Earth. Zhurong is designed with autonomous hibernation and other working modes. It will automatically enter hibernation mode when the energy level drops to a certain level, and resume normal working mode when environmental conditions gradually improve. 4. The origin and meaning of the name Zhurong 1. The origin of the name Zhurong On March 2, 2021, the public online voting for the global naming campaign for China's first Mars rover ended, and Zhurong topped the list with more than 500,000 votes.

After layers of selection including global naming, expert review, and online voting, Zhurong finally stood out. 2. The meaning of the name Zhurong: Zhurong is revered as the earliest god of fire in traditional Chinese culture, symbolizing that our ancestors used fire to illuminate the earth and bring light. The first Mars rover was named Zhurong, which means the Vulcan Zhurong landing on Mars. It is intended to ignite the fire of my country's interstellar exploration and guide mankind to continue exploring and transcending the vast starry sky and the unknown universe. In general, the Zhurong Mars rover landed on Mars in May 2021. It has been working on the surface of Mars for more than 300 Martian days, has traveled a total of 1,921 meters, and is currently operating normally and preparing to enter wintering mode. |
