The Zhurong Rover, named Dewa API in Chinese mythology, landed in the Planitia Utopia Mars area on May 15. This is China's first Mars mission - making it a second country to land explorers on the planet, after the United States.

Rover sent back his first picture from Mars in May, a few days after landing, showing the road deployed and the flat landscape where he arrived.

This new photo of Friday included a 360-degree panorama in the landing area, sewn together from a number of Rover images after landing before starting to drive through the area, according to the news agency managed by Xinhua. Another picture shows the surface of the orange martang, with scattered stones, a circular crater on the distant side, and the dunes in the distance.

The third picture shows the Chinese flag near the landing platform. Rover also took selfies using a wireless camera, showing expanded solar panels and small Chinese flags that were plastered in the equipment.

Solar-powered sluts of six wheels are intended to last three months, where it will look for an ancient life or evidence on the surface of Mars. While Rover explores the planet, its orbiting also performs scientific detection operations.

"China will publish scientific data related to timelyly to allow humans to share in the fruits of the development of the country's space exploration," Zhang Sejian said, the Head of the Chinese National Space Agency, in the Xinhua report.

Mars China's mission managed to enter the planetary orbit and land an explorer who can cross the surface of Mars in a one-way. It took several NASA missions to complete the challenging steps, although decades before China, between 1971 and 1997.

China launched the Tianwen-1 probe, bringing Zhurong and other equipment, last July along with two other Mars International missions: NASA's perseverance prostitutes and expectations of the United Arab Emirates.
The three missions are launched around the same time because of alignment between Mars and the earth on the same sun side, making travel more efficiently to the red planet.
While Zhurong did not advance technology as NASA's perseverance, which currently also curved Mars, his presence sent a clear signal that the ability of Chinese space pursued with the US.
Chinese astronauts have long been removed from the International Space Station - and one of the state ambitions is to build its own space station. In April, it took a step closer to that goal, successfully launched the first module of the planned facility.
The current core module is the largest spacecraft developed by China. But the station must be assembled from several modules launched at different times; The station can operate fully at the end of 2022, according to Chinese media.
