The Analysis of Cones within the Tianwen-1 Landing Area
Remote Sensing, 2022 On 15 May 2021, the Zhurong rover of China’s first Mars mission, Tianwen-1 (TW-1), successfully landed in southern Utopia Planitia on Mars. Various landforms were present in the landing area, and this area recorded a complex geological history. Cones are
