In the video you can describe in detail the atmosphere and the morphology of the surface of the red planet.
The Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA) released a video on Friday captured by the Tianwen-1 probe, which reached Mars on Wednesday.
The image was taken from an elliptical orbit around the planet, with a minimum distance of 400 km. It makes it possible to observe both the morphology and the atmosphere.
According to Xinhua, it is a rapid reproduction of photos taken every three seconds over a period of about 30 minutes, at a rate of 10 images per second.
Tianwen-1 is expected to remain in that orbit until May, when its rover separates to descend to the surface of Mars. If all goes to plan, China will become the second country to land successfully on the Red Planet.
Likewise, the rover is expected to land in the southern part of Utopia Planizia, a vast expanse in the planet’s northern hemisphere. If the device succeeds, deploy a vehicle to explore the surface of Mars and study the geological structure, the environment, the atmosphere and the presence of water for a minimum of 90 days.
Last week the CNSA published the first photo from Mars taken by its Tianwen-1 probe on this first historic flight from the Asian country to the red planet.
The probe left Earth on July 23 aboard a Long March-5 missile from the Wenchang Satellite Launch Center in Hainan Province.
