China says Mars probe stable; no word on reusable spacecraft
China’s Mars probe Tianwen-1, which blasted into space in July, is now quite 15 million kilometres (9 million miles) from Earth on the way to the Mars , the National Space Administration said on Saturday.

The administration said Tianwen-1 was in stable condition, having completed its first mid-course orbital correction early last month. it’ll be about 195 million kilometres (118 million miles) from Earth when it arrives at Mars around February, having travelled 470 million kilometres (292 million miles) altogether to urge there.

The administration, however, has yet to release information a few mysterious reusable experimental spacecraft that returned to Earth every week ago after a two-day flight.

The spacecraft consists of an orbiter, a lander and a rover, and marks China’s most ambitious Mars mission yet because it seeks to hitch the US in successfully landing a spacecraft on the earth .

It was blasted into space aboard an extended March-5 on July 23 during a month when the United Arab Emirates and therefore the US also took advantage of a shortened distance between the planets to launch similar missions.

China said the reusable spacecraft returned to its designated landing site last Sunday, calling the flight a breakthrough which will eventually provide convenient round-trip transport to space at a coffee cost. No other details on the mission or the configuration of the spacecraft are released.

That is also seen as an effort to place China on the vanguard of space flight. The US has for years been operating the secretive X-37B space plane that is still in orbit for months.

China’s military-backed program has developed rapidly since it became just the third country after Russia and therefore the US to place a person in space in 2003. Last year, China’s Chang’e-4 became the primary spacecraft from any country to land on the far side of the moon.
