Chinese Mission can overcome NASA in the race to bring Martin samples
The Chinese Mission Tianven -3 plans to collect samples in 2030, but NASA faces a delay in its mission to bring budget challenges and samples from Mars.
China’s space agency has released a 360 -degree wide image and two color photographs from the surface of Mars and Tianwen -1 space ship equipment, which reached the Red Planet on May 15. The film shows the landing zone’s surroundings, flat and Stony land and a tribute to the Chinese god of the “vehicle”.

It is believed that NASA’s major astronomer, who explores Saturn’s largest moon, will win the United States and will be the first country to bring samples from Mars.
“I bet that China has made huge progress and is the first person to bring samples from Mars”These are Catherine NishProfessor at Eastern University to Antario, Canada.
Catherine Nish says the sample collection ends the scientific ulation and “indicates that it is on Mars or existing.”
Tianven -3 is aimed at landing and collecting patterns at a single point on the Red planet, preferring to various geographical areas such as Chris Planetia and Understanding Planetia, in all 86 places.
These areas, which have coastal lines, deltas and old lakes, are considered candidates for the formation of living forms in their precipitation.
Nish is the leader of the Astrobeology team Mission Dragonfly, from NASA, It should start from Earth in 2027 Titan MoonIt can also support life, according to studies.
In January, the United States Aerospace Agency announced that it was considering two options to carry out a complex and expensive work that transported Martin floor samples collected by land. Perseverance robot In 2021, some were associated with partnership with private.
NASA said that these options cost 8.8 and 7.7 billion (between 5.1 and 6.8 billion euros) and brought samples to the ground between 2035 and 2039.
The Canadian spoke next to a session, dedicated to the role of the Asian continent in the territorial exploration, the peak of the Asian Universities, which took place in the Chinese semi -Atonamus Region of Macao.
“Mars is the most similar planet with the earth”
At the beginning of March, Sun Jejou, He warned that the mission on Mars would give special challenges, especially “distance from the earth” and “great differences from the moon.”
“The world wants to explore it, so the world wants to explore it,” said the State Company Corporation of Aerospace Science and Technology of China (CASC).
In recent years, China has invested strongly in its space program, the landing of the Chang 4 probe on the distant side of the moon, landing on Mars and Tiangong space station as the construction of the space station.
