The Tianwen-1 was launched in May last year. Its mission is to reach the orbit of Mars, land on the planet, and move around. Tianwen-1 is scheduled to land on the surface of Mars in May-June 2021.
If the experiment is successful, scientists will understand more about the Martian atmosphere, terrain, geological features, and the planet's magnetic field. It will be possible to study the evolution of Mars and answer the question: Will it be possible for humans to live on Mars in the future?
