现在,这是火星上的Lil Rovers!
许多人熟悉NASA的流浪者。好奇心和毅力探索了红色星球,但现在是时候让中国的Zhurong成为急需的聚光灯了。中国漫游者于5月登陆火星三个月的任务,通过收集和拍摄不同的样品来探索平原地区乌托邦策划。通过将Zhurong送往火星,它使中国成为第二个将漫游者送往地球的国家,仅次于美国。中国漫游者是中国国家航天管理局(CNSA)的一部分Tianwen-1任务,其中还包括着陆器和轨道器。
The CNSA announced earlier this week that Zhurong had covered about 3000 feet or 900 meters since landing on Mars and had outlived its life expectancy by completing all the tasks it was assigned to do (Who’s a good rover? Zhurong is!) Now seems like it would take on another journey towards the ancient coastal area only after taking a much-needed break. After all, the hardworking solar-powered rover deserves it! As the sun comes in between Earth and Mars, it results in some communication issues so the break is scheduled between mid-September to late October and after that the rover would be back on duty.
似乎我们已经从想象派遣漫游者来研究火星的土地和结构的感觉已经走了很长一段路,还有三个不同的流浪者对地球的不同部分进行研究并记录自己的旅程。几年前,我们从来没有想过,我们会在流浪者前往火星的旅程中被自拍照所吸引,或者看到流浪者捕捉了它在红色星球上新家的令人叹为观止的全景。但这只是一个开始,谁知道,也许我们会看到这三个流浪者将来相互互动!
