Tian Wen No.1. The word "Tian Wen" comes from the long poem "Tian Wen" written by Qu Yuan in the Songs of the South, which puts forward his own doubts and expresses his persistent pursuit of truth.

China's first self-launched "Tianwen-1" probe was launched from Hainan Wenchang Space Launch Site on July 23rd, 2020 12: 4 1 and successfully put into the scheduled orbit.

The probe arrived near Mars after flying in the ground fire transfer orbit for about 7 months, and entered the ring fire orbit after capturing Mars on February/day of 2002 1 year. After that, choose the opportunity to launch Mars scientific exploration missions such as landing and patrol. Its stated goal is to find evidence of current and past life and to assess the environment of the earth.

On 20021May 15, at 7: 00 a.m. Beijing time, the probe car "Zhu Rong" carried by Tian Wen-1 landed in the pre-selected landing zone in the southern part of the Martian utopia plain.
