Amidst the corona epidemic, China plans to send ‘Tianwen-1’ to Mars soon. It is one of the three major ambitious missions ahead of China. India became the first Asian country to reach Mars orbit six years ago. If left the European Union, two countries have already managed to reach Mars orbit. In the year 2014, India has also managed to reach the orbit of Mars. If this mission of China is successful, it will be the fourth country to reach the orbit of Mars.
Tianwen-1 China’s first Mars mission
Tianwen-1 is China’s first Mars mission. The Long March-5 carrier rocket is China’s heaviest launch vehicle. The aim is for scientists to collect data from Mars. The Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA) named the Mars mission Tianwen which means heavenly question or question from heaven. Tianwen is named after a poem by the famous poet Ku Yuan of China.
In 2014, India became the first Asian country to orbit Mars.
Like India, America, Russia, and the European Union, China will also try to reach Mars with its mission this year. In 2014, India became the first Asian country to orbit Mars. Also in its first attempt, India was the only country to do so. India is the only country in the world to start the Mars mission at a cost of 450 crores (the US $ 73 million), which is on this mission at the lowest cost.
