The race to Mars is no longer an Elon Musk or America dream, it has now become the dream of the entire world (let’s say countries that can afford a space project) and one of the countries interested in Mars is China, and the country just made its first Mars mission launch.
China is going to be the first country to go to the red planet. Since there is a fixed time to launch to the red planet China is moving to get into the red planet with the Tainwen – 1 mission. The mission is aimed at landing on Mars with a rocket. The rocket has a rover, lander and orbital. Currently, china has already launched to the red planet and the journey will last for seven months.
When the rocket gets to the red planet, the orbiter is aimed at orbiting Mars, while the rover and the lander will be the used to land and go around the red planet. It is no doubt that scientist have been trying to understand the red planet as well as get to the planet without problem. Although, NASA has been trying hard to find the necessary methods to get to Mars and has a Rover and Lander on the planet although Russia has tried severally to get to Mars and have failed, it is hopeful that if China can get to the planet then it would be easy to get the necessary information about the red planet.
Just the same way China will be in Mars in Seven months’ time, the United States NASA will be launching its perseverance Rover into the planet with the aim of knowing if there have been previously existing live on Mars at one point or the other both previously existing lives and current lives form.
Mars is meant to be a second habitat for humans in case you are asking for the purpose of the Mars missions by different countries. It is believed that humans can be inter planetary as it is believed that earth might be in danger and humans need another planet to call home.
