At 20 o'clock on February 5th, Beijing time, China's first Mars exploration mission Tianwen-1 probe engine ignited, and the fourth midway correction of the ground fire transfer section was successfully completed to ensure Mars capture as planned.
Up to now, the Tianwen-1 probe has been in orbit for about 197 days, about 184 million kilometers from the earth, about 1.1 million kilometers from Mars, and a flight mileage of about 465 million kilometers. The probe systems are in good condition.
Prior to this, the Tianwen-1 probe acquired the first Martian image at a distance of about 2.2 million kilometers from Mars.
In the picture, iconic landforms such as the Asidalia Plain on Mars, the Cluse Plain, the Meridian Plateau, the Skiapareli Crater, and the Vale of Sailors, the longest canyon on Mars, are clearly visible.
