The Tianwen-1 mission captured its first image of Mars from a distance of 2.2 million km from the planet. Tianwen-1, China’s first Mars exploration mission with an orbiter, a lander and a rover, is expected to enter Mars orbit on 10 February 2021. The name Tianwen (天問, Questions to Heaven) comes from a poem written by the Chinese poet Qu Yuan.
