  Starting from August 23, 2016, the Chinese Mars exploration project name and graphic logo were collected globally, and all walks of life at home and abroad participated actively. A total of 35,912 works with the submitted project name and graphic logo were received. After online voting, a total of 3,278,962 effective votes were harvested from all regions. Countless excellent creative works have shaped the beautiful vision of human exploration of Mars.

  At present, China is carrying out the development of the first Mars exploration project.

  According to the plan, in 2020, China will launch the Mars Rover through the Long March V, and achieve Mars orbit, landing and patrol detection through one launch. Among the eight planets of the solar system, Mars is closer to Earth. Mars has a similar rotation period to Earth, which is 24 hours and 37 minutes. In addition, there are changes in spring, summer, autumn and winter on Mars. It is precisely because of these similarities that understanding the status of Mars by launching probes and obtaining more information can help humans better study the evolution and future development of the earth. After the probe is launched, it will take about 7 months to reach Mars.

  Mars, here we come!
