Zhurong s sounds while descending onto Mars
Zhurong, the Tianwen1 missions rover, has descended from the landing platform to the surface of Mars, in the Utopia Planitia region, on 22 May 2021, at 02:40 UTC (10:40 China Standard Time). According to CNSA: The sound of the rovers departure process comes mainly from the driving mechanism, the friction between the wheels and the ramp, and the friction between the wheels and the ground. Zhurong driving on Mars (no audio): On 1 June 2021, the rover deployed a WiFi camera on the ground a drove away. The camera recorded the rovers retreat and the turning process. Then, it captured an image of the Zhurong rover and the Tianwen1 lander from about 10 metres away. Tianwen1 (天问一号) is Chinas first Mars exploration mission with an orbiter, a lander and a rover named Zhurong (祝融).
