[Explanation] On May 15, the Tianwen-1 probe successfully landed on the Martian Utopia Plain.

Since the Tianwen-1 probe was launched on July 23, 2020, all systems have been working normally.

On February 10, 2021, the Tianwen-1 probe entered the orbit of the ring fire, carried out scientific exploration work, and obtained a large amount of scientific data.

　　The Tianwen-1 probe softly landed on the Utopia Plain of Mars. Scientists believe that the place has high scientific value and is likely to achieve unexpected scientific results.

　　The area we chose for soft landing happens to be a plain, called the Utopia Plain, which is in the southern part of the Utopia Plain.

Geologists say this is probably the location of an ancient ocean.

At the junction of ancient ocean and ancient land, scientists believe that this place has high scientific value, and it is very likely that unexpected scientific results will be achieved.

　　[Explanation] Why do humans want to explore Mars?

Mars is the fourth closest planet to the sun, close to the earth and most similar to the environment, and is the preferred target for humans to go out of the Earth-Moon system to carry out deep space exploration.

　　At present, the international Mars exploration has achieved rich results, and found some evidence that there was water on Mars, and even now there is water, which has also greatly stimulated people's enthusiasm for searching for life on Mars.

　　On the orbiter, it needs to detect the surface magnetic field, surface morphology, and superficial structure of Mars, and even the content of water ice.

In the rover, there is also an optical load on the surface of Mars. You can look at the surface morphology of Mars, then analyze the material composition, look at the superficial structure, and analyze and probe the magnetic field.

　　After landing, we will release the patrol, turn on the patrol, and use the patrol to survey the surface of Mars.

(Visitors) There is a (magnetic field) detector on the patrol detection, just like a person doing a CT, it can detect some soil and rock structures under the fire surface through the fire surface.

　　[Explanation] Mars is a terrestrial planet. China has designated Mars as the first station for planetary exploration, which is also helpful to explore the question of whether the evolution of Mars is the future of the earth's evolution.

　　Life may have existed on Mars before, but now the atmosphere is thinner and life can no longer exist.

If the earth is developed and destroyed by humans indefinitely, will (the earth) develop into Mars one day? This is a question raised by scientists.

So we have great curiosity about Mars exploration, and we also have great hopes for Mars exploration.

　　[Explanation] China's first Mars exploration mission is a space exploration that has attracted worldwide attention.

Through a single launch, the three missions of Mars orbit, landing, and patrol and detection are realized, which is the first time in the world's space history.
