Tianwen-1 Orbiter
China's first successful Mars mission continues to operate in orbit. In 2025, the Tianwen-1 orbiter used its HiRIC camera to image comet 3I/ATLAS, demonstrating ongoing scientific operations. While the Zhurong rover failed to wake from hibernation in 2022, the orbiter remains active studying Mars' atmosphere and surface.
Mission Objectives
- Study Martian topography and geological structure
- Investigate surface soil characteristics and water ice
- Analyze atmospheric composition and climate
- Study electromagnetic and gravitational fields
- Support communication for surface rover operations
