“天问一号”是中国行星探测任务“天问系列”中的首次火星探测任务。“天问系列”名称源于屈原的长诗《天问》，寓意探求科学真理征途漫漫，追求科技创新永无止境。一起来感受科技绽放的独特魅力吧！

At 12：41 on July 23， 2020， an 1）unmanned Chinese 2）spacecraft left Earth on a yearlong trip to the planet Mars， with the goal of orbiting， landing and patrolling Mars througha single launch. The launch 3）marks the beginning of one of China's most importantspace missions yet.

Tianwen1 is the first Mars 4）exploration mission in China's planetary explorationmission. The name comes from Qu Yuan's long poem "Ask about Heaven"， which meansthat there is a long way to go in the search for scientific truth and never-ending pursuit ofscientific and technological innovation.

On July 27， 2020， the flight control team of the Beijing Aerospace Flight ControlCenter worked closely with the test team of the Chinese Academy of Space Technologyto control the Tianwen1 probe to look back at the earth at a distance of about 1.2 millionkilometers from the earth the 5）optical 6）navigation 7）sensor was used to image theearth and the moon， and a group photo of the earth and the moon was obtained.

On June 27， 2021， the National Space Administration released a series of liveimages of the China Tianwen1 Mars exploration mission， including the 8）parachuteopening and descent process of the landing 9）rover， the sound of the "Zhu Rong" roverleaving the landing platform and the Mars surface movement process， the Mars globalenvironment perception image， the rutting image of the rover， and so on.

Deep space exploration is one of the most challenging areas of high technology inthe world today， and it is a highly comprehensive combination of many high technology，it is also an important symbol of a country's comprehensive national strength andinnovation ability. China's development and continuous promotion of deep spaceexploration is of great 10）significance to the protection of national security， the promotionof scientific and technological progress， the promotion of national soft power and theenhancement of international influence.

2020年7月23日12時41分，中国一艘无人宇宙飞船离开地球开始为期一年的火星之旅，其任务目标是通过一次发射，实现火星环绕、着陆和巡视探测。这次发射标志着中国迄今为止最重要的太空任务之一的开端。

“天问一号”是中国行星探测任务中的首次火星探测任务，该名称源于屈原的长诗《天问》，寓意探求科学真理征途漫漫，追求科技创新永无止境。

2020年7月27日，北京航天飞行控制中心飞控团队与中国空间技术研究院试验队密切配合，控制“天问一号”探测器在飞离地球约120万千米处回望地球，利用光学导航敏感器对地球、月球成像，获取了地月合影。

2021年6月27日，国家航天局发布中国“天问一号”火星探测任务着陆和巡视探测系列实拍影像，包括着陆巡视器开伞和下降过程，“祝融号”火星车驶离着陆平台声音及火星表面移动过程视频，火星全局环境感知图像、火星车车辙图像，等等。

深空探测是当今世界高科技中极具挑战性的领域之一，是众多高科技的高度结合，也是体现一个国家综合国力和创新能力的重要标志。中国开展并持续推进深空探测，对保障国家安全、促进科技进步、提升国家软实力及国际影响力都有重要意义。
