surface and a Chinese rover and lander bearing small national flags were seen in photos released overnight that the rover took on the red planet.

Zhurong placed a remote camera about 10 metres from the landing platform, then withdrew to take a group portrait, the CNSA said. The orbiter and lander both display small Chinese flags and the lander has outlines of the mascots for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics. At 1.85 metres in height, Zhurong is significantly smaller than the US Perseverance rover which is exploring the planet with a tiny helicopter. NASA expects its rover to collect its first sample in July for return to Earth as early as 2031.
