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 …

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*)

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
It would be nice if they could all collaborate and build a higher bandwidth system for everyone to use
Yes, AFAIK, we are providing downlink support to #Zhurong. Indeed, I just said as much on @cgtnofficial, so I hope so
(The exact timing of MEX and/or TGO passes over Utopia Planitia I don’t know though – that’s one for @esaoperations.)
