At present, in the distant extraterrestrial world, there are two Chinese strollers in motion, one is the Jade Rabbit 2 on the far side of the moon, and the other is the Zhu Rong on the surface of Mars, both of which are in good condition and are constantly breaking the previous distance record.
In 2022, there are more reports about the Lunar Jade Rabbit 2 stroller, for example, after climbing a slope hard, Yutu 2 found a "palace" in the distance ahead. Obviously, it is a cute "stone rabbit", which is a stone to put it bluntly.
Yutu 2 also found centimeter-level beads many times during the driving process, some of which are translucent, some opaque, looking like the glass beads that children love to play with, in fact, the main component of such beads on the moon is glass, when meteorites hit, high temperature melts rock and condenses.
This year, there is less news about the Mars Zhurong rover, and many netizens are asking: How is the Zhurong on Mars? How many meters did you drive? Are there any major discoveries? Does no news mean that contact has been lost? Like Opportunity and Organic, a storm went missing.
It should be noted that the Zhu rong is in good condition and has been driving south, driving about 1.5 kilometers in the past 10 months, while driving, taking pictures, while analyzing the strange material compositions around it, collecting photos and data, and deepening our understanding of this deserted planet.
Recently, a new photo of China's Zhurong rover came, captured by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter MRO, and the photo also showed all the trajectories, and the curves were very clear, because the soil on the surface of Mars was relatively soft, and it would definitely leave wheel prints when driving.
In May 2021, the Zhurong rover successfully landed on the utopian plains, and since then, NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has been tracking Zhurong's itinerary from above, because the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is so boring, pat the rover and look at the rover.
On March 11, 2022, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter MRO used HiRISE to take a strip-like long map covering an area of 1 km wide and 5 km long, showing the entire trajectory of the Zhu Rong rover over the past 10 months, from its landing position to its new location.
The U.S. Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter MRO runs in a 300-kilometer-high orbit around the fire, while collecting Martian atmospheric data, while understanding the topography of Mars, while exploring the geological structure of Mars, while not forgetting to see what the rover is doing, MRO can take pictures of the surface of Mars The highest resolution can reach 0.3 meters.
With ultra-high resolution, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter MRO can discover any lander on the surface of Mars, the missing Opportunity and Courage rovers, the working Curiosity and Perseverance rovers, and the stationary InSight rover can all be seen and see whoever wants.
In short, the mainland's Zhu Rong rover is not missing, and is still moving south in order to collect more scientific data, which may deepen our understanding of Mars, and at present, there are three healthy rovers on the surface of Mars, Zhu Rong, Perseverance and Curiosity, more than before.
It was thought that before May 2023, Mars would usher in a new rover, a rover built by the European Space Agency and the Russian Space Agency, which was originally scheduled to be launched in September 2022, but now it seems unlikely, because the European Space Agency has stopped all cooperation with the Russian Space Agency.
