We will clarify that on the Red Planet in the entire history of space exploration 45 missions were sent, only nineteen were successful. IN there are currently 5 spacecraft in orbit of Mars – three US and one each of India and the European Union, on the surface of the planet moves one NASA rover.
The biggest hazards to surface devices are Martian storms that occur frequently and last for several months, which poses a threat to the operation of solar rovers. For this reason, as Zhang Rongqiao says, the Chinese rover will It is also equipped with a nuclear generator. However, about the device Chinese apparatus, its instruments and even the composition of the migratory there are no details of the module yet. The report is concise and concise without unnecessary details, comments, and even more so – without detailed plans for this mission.
