" Zhurong: China's Pioneer in Mars Exploration " The Zhurong rover, as the Mars rover carried by China's first Mars probe, Tianwen-1, had an indelible significance in the course of China's space exploration. From the birth of Zhurong to its journey to Mars, it had gathered the wisdom and hard work of many researchers. In the early planning stage, China began to lay out deep space exploration after the success of the Chang'e-1 mission. Although the launch of Firefly-1 failed on a Russian rocket, it did not stop China's determination to explore Mars. Subsequently, a series of research and development work was gradually carried out. From the early development of the Mars probe in 2014 to the approval of the project in 2016, and then to the development stage in 2018, until it passed the factory review and arrived at the launch site in 2020. Every step of Zhurong was firm and solid. On July 23,2020, Zhurong was launched by the Long March 5 Yao 4 launch vehicle at the Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan, China, starting its journey to Mars. After a long flight, on May 15,2021, Zhurong successfully landed in the southern part of the Utopia Plains on Mars. This feat marked China as the second country to successfully land on Mars. On May 22nd, Zhurong sailed to the surface of Mars and began its inspection. Zhurong carried a number of important missions on Mars. It carried six scientific payloads, including a multispectral camera, a sub-surface detection radar, and a Mars surface composition detector. It was mainly used to detect the surface composition, material type distribution, geological structure, and Mars weather environment. In the actual exploration process, Zhurong achieved remarkable results. For example, it discovered new evidence of liquid water in the low latitudes of Mars, which was of great significance for studying the mystery of water distribution and disappearance on Mars. Its patrol radar revealed the shallow layered structure of the Utopia Plain on Mars, filling the gaps in China's scientific research on Mars. Through the data obtained by its spectral camera, China found for the first time the rocky evidence of oceanic deposits on the surface of Mars, proving that there was once an ocean in the northern part of Mars. However, Zhurong's journey to Mars was also full of challenges. Due to the use of solar charging and filling the n-undecane phase change energy storage material collector, it faced the test of Mars 'special environment. Mars was far away from the sun, with low light intensity, large orbital eccentricity, and a large inclination of the axis of rotation, which made the lighting conditions in winter extremely poor. In May 2022, Zhurong entered hibernation mode after experiencing a huge sandstorm and facing the upcoming winter on Mars. It was planned to wake up automatically in December when the northern hemisphere of Mars entered early spring and environmental conditions improved. However, up until now, Zhurong had yet to wake up. Although Zhurong might have completed its mission, the mark it left on Mars was eternal. It was not only a mobile scientific laboratory, but also a witness to the development of China's aerospace technology. The scientific results it achieved provided valuable wealth for humans to further understand Mars, and also encouraged China astronauts to continue exploring further into deep space. The novel " Mars of Paradise " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to read it!
