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

The effects of the diurnal atmospheric variability on entry, descent and landing on Mars [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2014 Landing on Mars is extremely challenging task due to the fact that the Martian atmosphere is the most hostile environment in the Solar system to perform the entry, descent and landing (EDL) process, because it is thick enough to create ...

Estimation of surface water content at the Tianwen-1 Zhurong landing site
Earth and Planetary Physics, 2023 China’s first Mars rover, Zhurong, successfully landed in the south of Utopia Planitia. The surface water content at the landing area can provide constraints on mineral formation conditions and help us better understand the evolution of the Martian ...
