According to the National Space Administration's Moon Exploration and Aerospace Engineering Center, as of now, the Tianwen No. 1 widow has been running for more than 780 days, and the Martian car has been driving for 1921 meters to complete the established scientific detection tasks and obtaining 1480GB of original scientific detection data. A group of original scientific scientific data relying on the scientific data obtained by my country's scientists have achieved a number of original scientific achievements.

"Zhu Rong" Mars landing area

There was a water activity

The landing area of the "Zhu Rong" Mars is located in the south of the Mars Utopia Plain. After more than a year of inspection and detection, the "Zhu Rong" Mars car obtained a large number of scientific detection information. Among them, navigation and image data of the terrain camera show that there are plate -like rocks rich in water -containing minerals in the landing area, and these rocks are closely related to water activity.

Through further research on rocks, the scientific research team speculated that the approximate time range of water activities was the late stage of Mars Amazon.

Liu Yang, a researcher at the National Space Science Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences: Since there is water, we believe that Mars may have some climatic conditions that are suitable for the origin of life for nearly 1 billion years. These climate conditions are likely to be in a more gentle space underground.

Form the basic map of the landing area

Get the original scientific detection data 1480GB

Another achievement obtained in the Mars detection mission in my country is the basic map of the landing area. The map covers information such as terrain and geological structures in the landing area, which will provide good data support for the subsequent landing areas and scientific detection and planning.

The data of the basic map of the landing area consists of two parts:

The first part is mainly made from the image obtained by the high -resolution camera carried by the surrounder;

The second part of the data comes from the "Zhu Rong" Mars car. Through detailed detection and imaging of the surface of the landing area, it further enriches the basic map data. Provide more fine and effective information for subsequent fine detection and scientific planning.

As of now, Tianwen No. 1 task has obtained 1480GB of original scientific detection data. Before that, we wanted to know Mars, and we could only rely on foreign data. Through Tianwen No. 1 mission, we not only achieved long -range data transmission of hundreds of millions of kilometers, but also mastered how to effectively extract scientific data.

"Zhu Rong" Martian car wakes up autonomously

Will continue south

The "Zhu Rong" Mars car is currently dormant and is expected to wake up autonomously after the environmental conditions of Mars at the end of the year. After confirming that the working status is normal, the "Zhu Rong" will continue to travel south to obtain more inspection and detection data. According to the scientific detection results that have been obtained, the detection goals and paths of the "Zhu Rong" Mars will be planned in the future.

In addition, the scientific research team also uses Tianwen No. 1 detection data to obtain a group of outstanding scientific achievements in the shallow structure of Mars, the distribution of magnetic fields, ions and neutral particles in the Mars space environment, and Mars gravity field. Essence
