The latest batch of scientific research results from the Tianwen Mars mission show that a large amount of liquid water activity once existed in the landing zone of the Zhurong rover, about one billion years ago. As of 15 September, Tianwen-1 has been in orbit for more than 780 days. So far, the rover has traversed a total of 1,921 m. The volume of science data is 1,480 GB. Through the comprehensive study of typical landforms such as concave cones, wall impact craters and trenches distributed in the landing area, the scientific research team has revealed the important connection between the formation of landforms and water activities in Zhurong's landing area.
