China’s Mars rover is soldiering on after completing its initial 90-day program to explore and search for frozen water. The rover has been consistently sending back photos and data since it arrived on the red planet.
China’s National Space Administration said on its website Friday that Zhurong completed its 90-day program on Aug. 15 and was in excellent technical condition and fully charged.
After the United States, China is the second country to land and sustainably operate a spacecraft on Mars, where days are 40 minutes longer than on Earth.
