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?)3 Antworten 7 Retweets 30 Gefällt mirDiesen 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/A6VLIstj1 Antwort 4 Retweets 28 Gefällt mirDiesen 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

Daniel Fischer hat ESA Operations retweetet
Any information how much information about the lander's state has been downlinked in the 35 hours since touchdown? (And how exactly did mission control get confirmation that it worked well?) And what about Mars Express: https://twitter.com/esaoperations/status/1286233914814672899 … - when will it be tasked to relay?
Daniel Fischer hat hinzugefügt,
ESA OperationsVerifizierter Account @esaoperationsOnce at the Red Planet,#MarsExpress will provide data relay support, acting as a go-between (alongside the Chinese orbiter) for data gathered by the rover on the martian surface and ground stations on Earth We can't wait to see what Tianwen-1 discovers! pic.twitter.com/t9Dhx9ChY3Diesen Thread anzeigen1 Antwort 0 Retweets 0 Gefällt mir
1. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (We didn't get any useful official update since almost a day ago) 2. See 1. 3. https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=35045.msg2238231#msg2238231 … gives 1st session on May 17...but it's just a rumor.
