"Tianwen-1, Tianwen-1 landed successfully, all data are normal!"
On May 15, 2021, China's self-developed Mars rover Tianwen-1 landed on the surface of Mars, which was the first time that the mainland had landed on Mars, and also marked a new development achievement in China's space industry.
In the same year, the continental probe "Tianwen-1" successfully controlled the vehicle rover "Zhurong" on Mars to achieve the successful drive of the first probe to the surface of Mars, and also successfully and accurately collected massive data such as environmental data and ground images.
The development of China's space industry has been widely recognized by the international community, and the mainland's exploration of Mars has also occupied an important position in the world.
However, as the saying goes, good times don't last long, and China's Mars exploration has been surpassed by India.
So how does India outperform the continent in the field of Mars exploration?
Now, Tianwen-1 has successfully counterattacked and even broken the record of the United States, so how does Tianwen-1 overwhelm the United States internationally?
First, the situation of a hundred wastes waiting to be rebuilt.
Looking back at the development process of the continent in Mars exploration, the continent can be said to be in ruins, and it is also this lack of strength that has led to India successfully surpassing the continent in Mars exploration.
In the 90s of the last century, the mainland began to develop Mars probes, and in 2009, the mainland also planned to launch a Mars rover in 2013 to explore Mars.
Just as the mainland was preparing to explore Mars, the U.S. Mars rover Curiosity successfully landed on the surface of Mars, which was also the first U.S. probe to land on Mars.
But unfortunately, after the mainland's Mars rover was launched in 2011, more than a month later, the China National Space Administration announced that the Mars rover failed to launch.
This defeat once humiliated the mainland, and was even jokingly called the "Great Leap Forward."
At the time when the mainland was launching the Mars probe, the space science and technology of the United States and the Soviet Union had already made great progress, so in terms of Mars exploration, the probes of the United States and the Soviet Union had carried out more than 30 explorations of Mars.
On the one hand, this proves that the feasibility of Mars probes in Mars exploration is also there, and on the other hand, while the national strength of the United States and the Soviet Union is prosperous, it also proves the superiority of the United States and the Soviet Union in aerospace science and technology.
Since the mainland started late in the development and research of space science and technology, the mainland cooperated with the Russian National Space Agency to jointly develop and explore Mars on this basis.
This is also the first time that the continent has conducted research on Mars exploration technology.
However, in 1996, due to the lack of economic and scientific and technological development of the continent, although the mainland cooperated with the Russian State Space Agency, the Mars probe failed to launch due to lack of funds.
In 2009, the continent carried out the launch of the Mars probe, which was also the first time that the continent independently explored Mars, but in the process of launching, the launch of the Mars probe failed, which was also the first time that the continent failed to explore Mars.
In 2013, India's Mangelyan-1 Mars rover successfully entered the orbit of Mars, which is also the first probe in India to explore Mars and the first country in Asia to successfully explore Mars.
At the same time, the probes of the United States and the Soviet Union have also successfully explored Mars on Mars, which has undoubtedly brought great pressure to the continent's Mars exploration, and it is also nicknamed "coming from behind".
In 2014, the mainland's Wukong-1 orbited Mars.
However, the continent did not go well in the research and development process of the Mars probe, Wukong-1 also explored the Earth while exploring Mars, but at that time, the technology of the continent was not mature enough, which also led to Wukong-1 not exploring Mars when it was working, so Wukong-1's mission was also forced to terminate.
Therefore, the mainland's astronauts are also aware that the existing deep-space TT&C network cannot meet all the requirements of the mainland's development, and while the mainland is discovering a limited deep-space TT&C network, the mainland must make a new breakthrough in the research and development of deep-space exploration technology.
Therefore, the mainland astronauts have carried out a series of technical studies and overcome technical difficulties, and have successfully built the world's most complete deep-space tracking and control network.
At the same time, the mainland astronauts have also carried out a series of new research and development on the Mars probe, and also formed a series of new technologies, so the mainland astronauts have achieved great success in the process of Mars exploration.
Second, overtaking in corners in India.
In 1970, due to the influence of the political environment at that time, India has been in a backward state in terms of high-tech research, so on this basis, India is also very weak in aerospace science and technology, and it is also lagging behind the mainland.
In 2008, the Indian Space Agency (ISA) launched the smart satellite Indo-1 probe, which was also India's first probe to be launched to the moon.
This is also India's first attempt at scientific and technological research, but despite this, India's progress in space exploration is also very rapid.
Just as India's Mangelyan-1 Mars rover launched in 2013 successfully entered Mars orbit, China's Wukong-1 also circled Mars in Mars orbit.
However, the gap between China and India is here, Wukong-1 did not complete its mission, and the National Space Agency of India, together with the Indian scientific research team, successfully researched and developed the Mars exploration technology and developed the Mars probe.
This is also the first time that India has successfully explored Mars, and it has also become the first country in Asia to do so.
Therefore, India is known as "the last", but it has surpassed the Chinese astronauts in Mars exploration.
As recently as 2014, India's "Mangolyan-1" also detected methane gas on Mars after entering the orbit of Mars, which also proved that the methane gas on Mars came from underground activities.
In addition, this exploration was also rated as a scientific breakthrough of "annual exploration" by the American magazine "Science", which also made India's "Mangolyan-1" Mars probe widely recognized internationally.
Just in 2018, the Indian Space Agency (ISA) launched a new generation of the Mangolyan-2 probe, which is also the second time that India has explored Mars.
However, just as the Mangelyan-2 probe was launched, the Indian Space Agency announced that the probe had failed, which also put India's Mars exploration program on hold for a while.
3. Breaking the U.S. record.
In 2011, the mainland's Tianwen-1 Mars probe was launched, but during the launch, there was a problem with the rocket, which led to the failure of the Mars probe.
And this is also the first time that the mainland has failed to carry out Mars exploration, so China has also stepped on a lot of pitfalls and experienced many failures in the process of Mars exploration.
However, the mainland astronauts have not given up the research on Mars exploration, on the contrary, the mainland astronauts have studied the Mars exploration more and more deeply.
In 2018, the mainland successfully launched the Tianwen-1 Mars probe, but before that, the mainland astronauts were fully prepared, and at the same time, they also conducted a comprehensive analysis of the technology and research of Mars exploration.
On May 15, 2021, the mainland's Tianwen-1 successfully landed on the surface of Mars, and the control vehicle rover "Zhurong" successfully arrived on the surface of Mars.
This also marks the first successful landing on the surface of Mars, and a large amount of data has also been detected, which also proves that the continent has achieved success in Mars exploration and has been widely recognized internationally.
However, when the continent's Mars rover successfully landed on the surface of Mars, the continent also broke the American record, and the continent became the first country to successfully explore Mars after the Soviet Union, and it was also the first country to land and explore Mars.
In the past 50 years, the United States has carried out more than 30 explorations of Mars, but these probes have not successfully landed on the surface of Mars, but only explored the surface of Mars and orbit around Mars.
epilogue
China's space exploration is not only a symbol of national strength, but also China's love for the universe and the spirit of exploration, which is of great significance to the country's scientific and technological innovation and national development.
At the same time, the development of China's aerospace industry also reflects China's firm determination and continuous investment in the field of science and technology, and has made important contributions to the country's scientific and technological strength and international status.
At the same time, the progress of space technology will not only have a profound impact on the exploration of the universe, but also have a profound impact on various fields on the earth, and also promote scientific and technological innovation and social progress.
