China’s Tianwen-1 probe shares new images of Mars

The China National Space Administration shared three high-resolution images of Mars taken by China’s first Mars exploration mission probe Tianwen-1.

The footage was taken by the country’s first probe to explore the Red Planet “Tianwen-1”, published by the Chinese TV channel CGTN.

The Tianwen 1 probe was launched in July last year. Its mission includes exiting and orbiting Mars, landing, and moving on the planet’s surface. The landing of the probe is scheduled for May-June.
