NASA astronomers spot China's Mars bound Tianwen-1 while mapping large patches of sky

A NASA observatory, dedicated to research of hazardous asteroids in , captured China's Tianwen-1 Mars mission vehicle on camera last week. A tweet shared by NASA Asteroid Watch on its official handle included foot of  craft bound for Mars speeding away in with its orbiter, lander, and rover intact.  

As per reports, NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office observed Tianwen-1 vehicle as it was running a program to scan large patches of sky for astromers to map object’s path at a facility at Mauna Loa on Hawaii Island. observatory was working on Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) which identifies celestial objects in , such as a comet. China’s three robotic components, that will attempt to land at a site in rastern Mars, was caught on visuals inste.

Tianwen-1 to land on NASA's Viking 2 lander site

Tianwen-1 which translates to "questions to heaven" was launched on a Long March 5 rocket this month from Wenchang on Hainan Island, as per a report published last week in journal Nature Astromy which was composed by team members of China's Tianwen-1 Mars mission.

craft, according to study, will make a landing on Mars in February 2021 around  same time as NASA's Perseverance rover and United Arab Emirates' Hope orbiter, which was launched on July 19. 

China has isolated an area stretching from Isidis Planitia across to big volca Elysium Mons for landing where NASA's Viking 2 lander touched down in 1976.  According to study, China’s rover will operate for at least 90 Martian days and as of w, it’s 20th lunar day on moon. Tianwen-1 orbiter is expected to provide scientific communication links to rover while it will carry out observation on dedicated Mars area for 1 year, which is approximately 687 days on earth.
