After the first images sent in recent days, the Chinese rover Zhurong safely descended from the lander platform and touched down on the surface of Mars this morning at 10:40 in Beijing (4:40 in Italy), kicking off exploration and leaving its first “footprints” on the Red Planet, the China National Space Administration (Cnsa) reported.
