The two-minute video carried by China's major state news outlets depicted several critical moments, including the lander's separation from the Mars orbiter and its controlled descent onto the surface of the Red Planet on May 15, Beijing time.
Viewers watching the video—released the day after the successful arrival of Chinese Mars rover Zhurong—noticed a number of similarities between it and an animation produced by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 2011.'s arrival on Mars in August 2012. Despite the crisper animation quality in the Chinese production, many scenes from the NASA clip appeared to have inspired last week's illustration of Zhurong landing on the planet.
A comparison of the two videos showed similar animation effects, timing, composition and lighting. The probes themselves looked different, but certain aspects of the footage appeared the same, including their angle of approach as well as the framing during and after the lander's parachute sequence. Screen grabs taken from NASA's 2011 and CASC's 2021 animations depict landers descending toward Mars' surface.
