Zhurong: New Rover on Mars
China's Zhurong rover landed on Mars in mid-May, part of the Tianwen-1 mission. Its name means 'God of Fire' in Chinese mythology, fitting for the 'Planet of Fire.' Zhurong is exploring Utopia Planitia, a large impact basin, and carries ground-penetrating radar. This instrument can detect underground ice, potentially even 100 meters deep.
