, giving the world a glimpse of its surrounding volcanic region, which may have once hosted a large body of water or ice.
The new analysis presents findings based on the rover's first 60 sols — Mars days — on the planet, during which it traveled 450 meters. The researchers looked at images taken by the rover, as well as the tracks left behind by Zhurong to analyze its surroundings. They discovered landforms consistent with wind erosions, including ridges, ripples, and eroded craters, as well as rock textures weathered by brines.
The Zhurong mission will continue to explore the red planet for a total of approximately 90 sols . It will use equipment ranging from a magnetic field detector, cameras, spectrometers, a weather station, and more to study Mars' magnetic field, analyze its surface composition, and investigate its weather patterns.To date, six rover missions have successfully landed on Mars.
