How long will it take for Tianwen-1 to reach Mars after a successful launch?

We know that in recent days, China’s first Mars probe Tianwen-1 was officially launched on July 23rd. The launch of Tianwen-1 also marked the official start of China’s mission to Mars. Launch a march and join the game of exploring Mars. After all, as a big country in the world, China must not lag behind in this regard, so we must also join in this Mars exploration game. Whoever takes action first will have the upper hand among future planetary immigrants. So how long will it take for the Tianwen-1 launch to reach Mars? It will probably take nearly half a year. The main reasons are as follows. 1. The distance between Mars and the Earth is far away.

First of all, we know that there are 8 major planets in the entire solar system, and the two closest planets to the earth are Venus and Mars. However, scientists’ satellite detectors have discovered that Venus is not actually suitable for human habitation. Because its climate conditions and its environmental atmosphere are not suitable for human development in the future. Scientists have turned their attention to another planet, Mars, which is probably nearly 10,000 kilometers away from the Earth. With such a long distance, Tianwen 1 adopts a slowly approaching Mars orbit without a rocket accelerator. The propulsion can only enter Mars through slow drift, which requires a long time. 2. The unique design of Tianwen 1.

Secondly, there is another reason why Tianwen 1 takes so long to reach Mars. The main reason is that it uses the drift method to reach the Mars orbit and then enter Mars. Although this method is particularly energy-saving, it takes a long time. But for China, we are willing to spend such time and wait slowly, because our research on Mars is only in its infancy. 3. Tianwen-1 is a satellite whose main purpose is detection.

The last point is that Tianwen 1 is a satellite whose main mission is detection. It does not need to grasp the time quickly to complete its mission, it only needs to be completed slowly. This is also what the Chinese require.
