1 . On July 23, 2020, China successfully set off its first fully home-grown Mars mission, the Tianwen-1 on to a month- long space voyage toward the red Planet, marking a new era in a space exploration long controlled by NASA, USA.

Tianwen-1 consists of an orbiter (轨道器) and a lander. It’s the first attempt by any country to achieve orbiting, landing and roving all in one go. “If successful, it would mean a major technical breakthrough, ” scientists of the China National Space Agency (CNSA) wrote in a recent paper.

The orbiter, lander and rover probe (巡视器) combination lifted off from the Wenchang Satellite Launch Center on Hainan Island Thursday morning at 12: 41 a.m. American space and Mars enthusiast Elon Musk praised the mission on the website Thursday morning, calling the “launch” impressive.

In the Nature astronomy paper, CNSA researchers gave five scientific aims of the Tianwen-1 mission Map the geological structure of Mars, investigate surface soil characteristics, analyze surface material composition and study the Martian climate and environment at the surface, as well as the physical fields and internal structure of Mars. If all goes according to plan, the Tianwen-1 probe will reach Mars orbit in February next year. The orbiter will settle into a polar orbit that will allow it to observe the planets surface from a height between 165 miles and 7, 500 miles.

The Tianwen-1 mission is China’s second attempt at the Red Planet 2011 orbiter mission called Yinghuo-1 failed China is also the first country to land a probe on the far side of the moon. Last January, CNSA successfully sent a robotic lunar rover called Yutu-2 to the moon as part of the Change-4 mission. The rover is still roaming on the dark side of the moon studying the lunar composition.

One rainy day, Lily, a sad little girl, was looking out of the window. Her mother was doing her usual housework. She had been busy preparing dinner and washing clothes. Her daughter, not old enough to go to school, had wanted to play outside, but it was raining. The mother told her little girl to get some paper and a pencil to draw pictures. She hadn’t noticed her daughter was very sad.

Lily was the only child in the family and had no brothers or sisters to play with. She sat on the sofa with her pencil and paper, looked out of the window and began to draw a picture. She drew the window with rain streaming down the glass. Then she drew a little girl in front of the window with ribbons in her hair. The mother passed by as she was going to put the clothes into the dryer. She told her daughter that her drawing was pretty. Lily said thank you, but she still wanted to go out to play. Her mother said, “We have discussed that already. You can’t. It’s raining.”

Lily continued to draw the picture, while her mother went back to the kitchen to check on dinner. The mother could see her daughter’s drawing across the glass door that divided the two rooms. In the drawing, a little girl had big tears rolling down her cheeks. The mother thought about the events of the day in her mind.

Several times that day, Lily had asked her mother for permission to go out and play. The rain had prevented her from going out. She had asked her mother to play and watch cartoons with her. Each time, her mother was too busy with things she had to do. The mother felt guilty, and realized the little girl in the drawing was her daughter’s self-portrait. So she walked into the living room.
