The reporter learned from the National Space Administration, as of today (June 29), the "SkyQuest One" mission orbiter and Mars rover have completed the established scientific exploration mission. The "SkyQuest 1" mission orbiter normal flight 706 days, to obtain a global coverage of Mars medium-resolution image data, the science payloads are to achieve global exploration of Mars.

After 202 days and 475 million kilometers of deep space flight, the "SkyQuest 1" probe was successfully launched on July 23, 2020, and rendezvoused with Mars on February 10, 2021, and successfully implemented the capture brake to enter the orbit around Mars. After 3 months of detailed investigation of the pre-selected landing area, the "Tianwen-1" rover successfully landed on Mars on May 15, and on May 22, the "Zhurong" rover successfully drove on the surface of Mars and started the roving exploration.

On August 15, 2021, "Zhurong" rover successfully completed 90 Mars day established scientific exploration mission, continue to implement the expansion of the exploration mission, has accumulated 1921.5 meters on the surface of Mars. The Mars rover will enter into winter hibernation mode on May 18, 2022 according to the design status, due to the severe winter and dusty weather in the landing area, and will resume normal work after the environmental conditions improve around December 2022, when the landing area of "Zhurong" will enter the early spring season.

The orbiter circled Mars 1344 times, achieving global coverage, the current state is normal. The follow-up will continue to carry out global remote sensing detection, and the opportunity to carry out expanded technical tests, to carry out advance technical verification for related tasks.

"After nearly two years of flight and exploration, the 13 scientific payloads of Mars rover and orbiter have obtained about 1040GB of raw scientific data. After ground receiving and processing, the standard scientific data products are submitted to the team of scientists for analysis and interpretation on a rolling monthly basis, and the scientific results have been published in well-known academic journals at home and abroad. These scientific data will be opened to global scientists at an opportune time, and scientists worldwide are welcome to actively apply for research to jointly advance the cause of human exploration of the universe.

In the spirit of open and shared cooperation, the National Space Administration actively promotes cooperation with space agencies and the scientific community, sharing orbital data of its Mars orbiter with NASA and ESA, and carrying out collision warning cooperation; the "Zhu Rong" Mars rover and the European Space Agency (ESA) "Mars Express orbiter to carry out data relay communication experiments and realize the cooperation between China and Europe on Mars scientific data relay; before and after the Mars sunset, with the astronomical stations of Russia, Germany, Italy, Australia, South Africa and other countries, using the "Tianwen-1" orbiter and "The Mars Express orbiter was used to jointly carry out occultation observations of the Sun and scientific research on the solar wind. These collaborations have achieved good results, enriched human knowledge, and made positive contributions to building a community of human destiny in the field of science.
