At 17:00 on February 15, Beijing time, the Tianwen-1 probe successfully carried out a plane maneuver to capture the orbital far fire point.

The 3000N engine is ignited, and the orbit is adjusted to a circular fire orbit passing through the poles of Mars, and the height of the near-fire point is adjusted to about 265 kilometers.

In the future, the Tianwen-1 probe will go through several orbit adjustments and enter the orbit of Mars.
