Tianwen-1 Mars Orbiter (CNSA Spacecraft)

(2 Jul 2020) LEAD IN: It's the summer of Mars. Three countries – newcomers United Arab Emirates and China along with veteran the U.S. – separately will aim to launch robotic spacecraft to the red planet. Mars has fascinated mankind for centuries, but it's only in the last six decades - as robotic spacecraft have visited the red planet - that we've learnt more about our neighbor in the solar system. STORY-LINE: Mars, the fourth planet in our solar system is about half the size of Earth - around 4,220 miles in diameter - and has two moons, named "Phobos" and "Deimos". Temperatures range from minus 140 degrees Celsius to plus 30 degrees Celsius. Gravity is about 62.5 percent less than what we're used to here on Earth. And the planet's atmosphere is composed almost entirely of carbon dioxide - 96 percent. Professor of Astrophysics, Chris Lintott, describes it as a "horrible place." "It's drier than the driest desert on Earth, there's hardly any atmosphere to speak of," he says. "There is a thin one, but you certainly couldn't breathe it. And the place is dusty, the surface is made of sort of red, rusty sand, you could think of it as. And there are winds in that thin atmosphere that could whip up the dust, and it gets everywhere." In recent years, scientists from NASA and Europe have honed their research skills by studying the Australian outback, home to some of the oldest fossilized life forms. Scientist Susanne Schwenzer, who's worked on NASA's Opportunity rover, compares Mars to Chile's Atacama Desert. "Around me in the background, there are lots of green plants, right now, you wouldn't see any of that. All you would see is rocks and sand. It is a very dry place, like, for example, the Atacama (Desert) on Earth," she says. "And it's even more dry because of the thin atmosphere. And it's cold. At night, temperatures fall to minus 30 or even minus 50 degrees (Celsius), depending on the season." Our planetary neighbor has been a popular target for exploration, with rovers on its surface and other probes examining the planet from orbit. Mankind's understanding of the red planet has evolved hugely since NASA's Mariner 4 spacecraft first took photos of Mars back in 1964. Researchers back then saw nothing more than a "cold, barren" planet. Scientists have been seeking organic molecules on Mars ever since the 1976 Viking landers. The twin Vikings came up pretty much empty. NASA's Opportunity rover, pronounced dead in February last year, after 15 years roaming the red planet, was a robotic geologist, equipped with cameras and instruments at the end of a mechanical arm for analyzing rocks and soil. Its greatest achievement was discovering, along with its identical twin rover Spirit, evidence that ancient Mars had water flowing on its surface and might have been capable of sustaining microbial life. The notion of water on Mars has long fascinated scientists because of the possibility that the planet may have once harbored similar conditions to those that allowed life to develop on Earth. "When we flew past Mars with the Mariner 4 spacecraft in 1964, it looked just barren, dry, some impact craters because we didn't have the resolution to look at all the details," says Schwenzer. "It's only since the Spirit and Opportunity rovers that we understand the geology and the rocks of Mars a lot better. So we know that these rocks contain elements such as iron, calcium, magnesium, which are really important to make an environment."

China's space agency has unveiled the name of its first Mars exploration mission. Space enthusiasts can expect Tianwen-1 to head to the red planet later in 2020. The mission will allow scientists to study the atmosphere, surface and geological characteristics of Mars' magnetic field. China also marked its annual Space Day and the 50th anniversary of its first satellite launch on April 24. If successful, the country's Mars probe will be the first in the world to finish three missions at the same time.

China on Thursday successfully completed an obstacle-avoidance test for its upcoming Mars mission, moving the country a step closer to its goal of becoming one of the world’s top powers in space exploration. During the test at a site near Beijing, a probe designed to land on Mars separated from the main body of a space craft at an altitude of 70 meters (230 feet) and slowly descended, finishing 15 meters from the ground. Researchers, who didn’t attempt to land the probe, told media at the event that the test was successful, without providing details or taking questions. The successful test is “a big milestone for China’s Mars mission,” said Lan Tianyi, founder of Ultimate Blue Nebula Co., a space consultancy. China’s first attempt to explore Mars failed in 2012 when the Yinghuo-1 probe crashed into the Pacific Ocean. The world’s second-biggest economy is doubling down on its space program. China became the first country to land a craft on the far side of the moon in January and wants to have a lunar research station in about 10 years. With an annual space budget of $8 billion, second only to the U.S., China is looking to send a probe to the red planet next year and build its own space station by 2022. Thursday’s test came a week after an academy belonging to China’s state-owned space contractor said in a WeChat post that the spacecraft’s propulsion system had passed various hovering, hazard avoidance, slow-down, and landing tests needed to reach Mars’s surface. If the project goes ahead as planned, China will join missions from the U.S., the United Arab Emirates, Europe and Russia that plan to launch within a roughly three-week window from mid-July to early August 2020, when the relative positions of Earth and Mars are particularly close. That cosmic event occurs every 26 months and allows explorers to travel the shortest distance with the lowest amount of fuel. The respective missions should then arrive on Mars in early 2021. China has said it expects to do a second Mars probe in 2028 to bring samples back to earth. The U.S. prohibits cooperation with China’s space program, and President Donald Trump’s administration has cited the threat from China as a reason to accelerate a plan to send American astronauts to the moon by 2024. The next big challenge for China’s Mars mission will come with the launch of the Long March 5, China’s largest carrier rocket. In October, the China National Space Administration moved a Long March 5 to southern Hainan Province in advance of a launch, the official Xinhua News Agency reported. An earlier version of that rocket failed less than six minutes after liftoff in 2017, and recovering from that setback is crucial for Chinese plans to explore the moon and Mars. “There are a lot of missions waiting for the Long March 5,” said Lan.

Mars Mission: China completed a crucial landing test on November 14 in the northern Hebei province ahead of a historic unmanned mission to Mars. The Mars lander underwent a hovering-and-obstacle avoidance test at a sprawling site littered with small rocks to simulate the uneven terrain on Mars which the lander would have to navigate on its descent to the planet’s surface.

China's first Mars lander made its public debut in a test on Thursday. The lander test was conducted at Asia's largest integrated extraterrestrial object landing test site located in Huailai county, Zhangjiakou City. Tested processes included hovering, avoiding obstacles and slowing down in the Martian environment, which were conducted to verify design accuracy. #China #Mars Subscribe to us on YouTube: https://goo.gl/lP12gA Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv Follow us on: Website: https://www.cgtn.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChinaGlobalTVNetwork/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cgtn/?hl=zh-cn Twitter: https://twitter.com/CGTNOfficial Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/CGTNOfficial/ Tumblr: http://cctvnews.tumblr.com/ Weibo: http://weibo.com/cctvnewsbeijing Douyin: http://v.douyin.com/aBbmNQ/
