Geological Characteristics and Targets of High Scientific Interest in the Zhurong Landing Region on Mars

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021
We used imaging, laser altimeter and thermal infrared data to map a 0.5 by 0.5° area containing the landing site of the Zhurong rover of the Tianwen‐1 mission.

Physics‐Informed Neural Networks for Modeling the Martian Induced Magnetosphere

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Understanding the magnetic field environment around Mars and its response to upstream solar wind conditions provide key insights into the processes driving atmospheric ion escape. To date, global models of Martian induced magnetosphere have been exclusively physics‐based, relying on computationally intensive simulations. For the first time, we

The Dielectric Properties of Martian Regolith at the Tianwen‐1 Landing Site

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Mars' surface is characterized by a weathered layer of regolith and exposed rock exposures that are the results of long‐term geological processes. The Mars Rover Penetrating Radar (RoPeR) on board the Zhurong rover of China's first Mars mission (Tianwen ...

Spatial Autocorrelation of Martian Surface Temperature and Its Spatio-Temporal Relationships with Near-Surface Environmental Factors across China’s Tianwen-1 Landing Zone

Remote Sensing, 2021
Variations in the Martian surface temperature indicate patterns of surface energy exchange. The Martian surface temperature at a location is similar to those in adjacent locations; but, an understanding of temperature clusters in multiple locations will ...

Sampling, Mobility, and Anchoring in Small‐Body Sampling Robots: A Comprehensive Review

SmartBot, Volume 2, Issue 2, June 2026.
Small‐body sampling robots are exploration systems that perform contact, sampling, and stable operations on microgravity bodies such as asteroids and comets. The authors review representative robot architectures and key technologies, focusing on the mechanisms, evolution, and coupling of sampling, mobility, and anchoring.

Shape and spin axis determination of the Tianwen-2 target asteroid (469219) Kamo’oalewa from light-curve inversion

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Near-Earth asteroid (469219) Kamo’oalewa is an Earth quasi-satellite, temporarily trapped in a 1:1 orbital resonance with our planet. Despite its dynamical relevance and the hypothesis that it may be a lunar ejecta fragment, its physical ...

Rotation‐Controlled Diurnal Evolution of Uranus' Asymmetric Bow Shock at Equinox

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Uranus possesses the most extreme magnetic and rotational geometry in the solar system, resulting in a uniquely dynamic and asymmetric interaction between its magnetosphere and the solar wind. Here we investigate the diurnal evolution of the Uranian bow shock (BS) at equinox using global multifluid magnetohydrodynamic simulations constrained ...

The Evolution of Hot Flow Anomalies in Martian Space Environment

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Hot Flow Anomalies (HFAs) are transient foreshock structures generated by solar wind discontinuity‐bow shock interactions, with their evolution only confirmed near Earth. Using MAVEN and Tianwen‐1 joint observations, we study the evolution of a Martian HFA event detected on 17 September 2022 (dayside by MAVEN, nightside by Tianwen‐1).
