Photographs taken by Sky Quest 1

Recently, China's Mars probe Gentian-1 successfully landed on Mars, and after landing, Gentian-1 sent back to Earth a close-up photo, after seeing this photo, the United States was anxious on the spot, what exactly did Gentian-1 capture to make the United States deeply worried? It turns out that this photo is a close-up photo of the surface of Mars, which shows that Sky Quest One has been able to fly within the gravitational range of Mars, this close up photo was sent back to Earth, symbolizing that China has broken through the key issue of Mars exploration, China will become the strongest competitor of the United States in space exploration, it is no wonder that the United States expressed concern.

The picture is the Mars exploration mission

Mars has always been a planet full of both temptation and danger for human beings, Mars has always been considered by many as the most suitable space colony for human beings, Mars has rich mineral resources, and also has an atmosphere similar to that of Earth, as long as through a series of climatic environment transformation, Mars will become the second Earth, but to carry out a successful exploration mission to Mars is not an, On the one hand, Mars is very far from Earth, with a distance of nearly 400 million kilometres between the two planets, which is several hundred times the distance from the Earth to the Moon, and it takes at least a few months for the probe to reach Mars, and China's Sky Quest One experienced a 7-month flight to reach Mars.

Even with the help of relay satellites, the Mars probe will still have a signal delay of 15-20 minutes, and the highest delay may even reach more than half an hour, and the signal of the Mars probe will be interrupted for as long as a month in the event of a sunset, and many countries lost contact with the probe in this process, which eventually led to The mission failed, it is because of the high difficulty of Mars exploration, over the years can successfully carry out the Mars exploration mission of few countries, even the Soviet Union, a pioneering space country also in the exploration of Mars rolled over, its several Mars exploration mission all failed.

Compared with other countries, the United States in the exploration of Mars more investment, the number of missions also more, from the 1960s to today, the United States has carried out a total of 22 Mars exploration missions, 17 of which have been successful, the United States also has a very high position in the world of space, most of the data and information about Mars have to rely on the United States to explore and collect, in the exploration of Mars In Mars exploration, the United States has absolute authority, but with the successful landing of Titian 1 on Mars, the United States was challenged for the first time in the field of deep space exploration, which is the main reason why U.S. experts expressed concern.

At present, China's progress in space technology is getting faster and faster, not only to achieving the first human exploration mission on the back of the moon but also beginning to build the Tangoing space station, although Gentian-1 still has a small gap compared to the U.S. Trailblazer, China already has cans on Mars for exploration, considering the rapid development of Chinese space technology, China wants to create a Mars probe equivalent to the Trailblazer is only a matter of time. And as China joins the competition to explore Mars, Mars exploration technology will no longer be monopolized by NASA, and other countries will certainly come to China to help them carry out Mars exploration missions.

In general, the United States will naturally panic about China, which has continued to overtake in various fields in recent years, and the United States has spent decades building up its technological hegemony, which is now being dismantled by China little by little.
