The Enterprise Mission Imaging Team along with Richard go over the latest revelations from the just-released Chinese Martian images!.
On May 15, 2021, the Chinese “NASA” (CNSA) separated their unmanned “Zhurong” rover from the orbiting “mother ship,” Tianwen-1 — to, less than an hour later, successfully touch down in the middle of (another …) “ancient Martian city” … this one, on the northern plains of Mars.
However, after sending back two B&W images, and rolling the rover off the lander … the triumphant Chinese Mars mission simply “disappears”–
Sending no further images … no video … no updates … No Nothing — for an entire MONTH.
Then–
Just hours after NASA’s veteran “MRO” spacecraft, orbiting Mars since 2006, successfully images the landed Chinese hardware on Utopia Planitia, June 10–
The Chinese abruptly “reappear.”
Holding, on June 11, a major Beijing press conference on their “missing” Martian landing — releasing a flurry of new color surface images in the process … including, an excellent, highly-detailed 360-degree color panorama of the landing site.
It is on that spectacular Chinese panorama that the unmistakable “geometries” of several near-by artificial structures (!) can be seen … with row upon row of others fading into the distant Mars’ horizon of Utopia …
Explore through the Chinese robot eyes — more extraordinary “mysteries of Mars ….”
