The first Chinese mission with the intent to study the red planet will leave in July.
The arrival is scheduled for February 2021, when the orbiter will begin to study the exact location that will be chosen to send to the ground a lander to a rover equipped with six wheels and powered by solar panels.
China could then become the second world power to successfully take a scientific mission to the Martian soil!
Let’s keep our fingers crossed…
