Initial results of the meteorological data from the first 325 sols of the Tianwen-1 mission [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
As the Zhurong rover landed on the surface of Mars in 2021, it began a months-long collection of Mars data. Equipped with highly sensitive sensors, Zhurong is capable of being a meteorological station at the surface of Mars. The Mars Climate Station, one

Identification of the Beagle 2 lander on Mars [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2017
The 2003 Beagle 2 Mars lander has been identified in Isidis Planitia at 90.43° E, 11.53° N, close to the predicted target of 90.50° E, 11.53° N. Beagle 2 was an exobiology lander designed to look for isotopic and compositional signs of life on Mars, as ...
