On 8 November 2021, the Tianwen-1 orbiter has entered into its science orbit, an elliptical orbit optimized for its remote sensing mission. At its closest approach (periareion), the Tianwen-1 orbiter will be at about 265km from the surface of Mars. The farthest distance of the orbiter from Mars (apoareion) is about 10700 km. The Zhurong rover has traveled 1253 metres so far on the surface of Utopia Planitia, Mars. Tianwen-1 (天问一号) is China’s first Mars exploration mission with an orbiter, a lander and a rover named Zhurong (祝融).
