The official China National Space Administration (CNSA) Twitter account posted a message stating that they have confirmed the existence of intelligent life in this solar system with the tags Tianwen-1 and Zhu Rong. This was after the rover successfully landed on Mars after nine minutes of terror, or the time when engineers on Earth have no control or contact with it due to a radio signal delay. Read more for a video of its landing explained and additional information.
Before the Tianwen-1 mission, only the United States and the former Soviet Union successfully soft landed on the Red Planet from Earth. If the Zhu Rong rover operates as planned, it will collect and transmit information about the Martian surface over the next 90 days, making China only the second country to accomplish the task after the US.
