LOL I didn't expect our interesting neighbors across the Pearl River to be the first bringing the coordinates of the Chinese Mars Rover...https://twitter.com/sklplanets/status/1393361045347966978?s=19 …

Some very hazy timing of pre-EDL events on the 14th: 17:XX UTC - Orbiter engine burn lowering periapsis 20:XX UTC - Lander separates from orbiter "~30 minutes after separation" - Orbiter re-raises orbithttps://twitter.com/Yeqzids/status/1393373719314137091?s=20 …

On CCTV it was reported that "first opportunity to downlink photos will be around midday-afternoon BJT", i.e. within next few hours. The relay orbiter is currently on the opposite side of Mars. (I wonder if it's the TW-1 orbiter or one of ESA's?
@esaoperations are you involved?)Diesen Thread anzeigen -
This video confirms that the lander has descent imaging and LIDAR for obstacles avoidance. Hopefully they will be downlinked soon! (*clicks on
@HiRISE site in preparation*) http://t.cn/A6VLIstjDiesen Thread anzeigen -
Big Red Screen (TM) According to CCTV Xi Jinping has made a congratulatory phone call to the TW-1 lander/rover team, giving it the same attention as
@POTUS did with Perseverance etc.pic.twitter.com/b35wBBuQsY

It appears the initial reported coordinates are off, MCC screen shows 25.1 N, 109.9 E instead.pic.twitter.com/0lI1xpLDl9

Turns out that the solar panels, mast and HGA deployment were already completed some hours ago (and reported during the CCTV program).pic.twitter.com/woZ45hI6xS

The usual DSN link session with Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is going on. I wonder if it have tried to take photos of the landing (site) this time?

Back to the Zhurong rover, CNSA vice-chief Wu Yanhua reports on the following future plans: May 22 - rover rolls off lander deck May 27 - Lander/rover mutual photographing session (so lander has deck cameras too) May 28 - 1st scientific data downlink https://m.weibo.cn/detail/4637113372643057 …

Meanwhile the orbiter as it turns out only returned back to its 2-sol period orbit after the re-raising burn (see
@ea4gpz’s blog). It will make another orbit before lowering its orbit apoapsis to 15000 km (1/3-sol period) to allow for twice-daily communication sessions w/ rover.pic.twitter.com/xE8ilsvwmY
