today The 29th day of the twelfth lunar month Lunar New Year's eve We wish you a happy new year! At the same time, the Tianwen-1 probe sent back a set of selfie videos from the orbit of Mars, extending New Year greetings to the people of the whole country. Video: The probe takes a group photo on Mars Source: China Lunar Exploration Project On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month last year (February 10, 2021), Tianwen-1 arrived at Mars and successfully implemented capture braking, becoming my country's first artificial Martian satellite, and starting a scientific exploration journey of the red planet. It has just been one lunar new year today. The video was taken by the "selfie" camera carried by the Tianwen-1 orbiter. The camera was installed at the end of a "selfie stick". This selfie tool is designed to monitor and evaluate the status of key components outside the orbiter cabin. In the video, the orbiter's 3000-Newton engine, propellant tank, attitude control engine and other components are in good condition. The five-star red flag shining in the orbit of Mars is particularly bright. The angle of sunlight changes significantly during the attitude adjustment process, and the ice cap below is photographed when flying over the North Pole of Mars.

At present, the Tianwen-1 mission has transmitted back about 600GB of original scientific data, and both devices are in good condition and operating normally.
