Zhurong is a six-wheeled rover built by china. It landed on Mars in the area called Utopia Planitia on May 14, 2021. Zhurong is about the size of NASA's twin Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity. It has six scientific instruments, including two panoramic cameras, a ground-penetrating radar and a magnetic field detector. Like America's Curiosity and Perseverance Martian rovers, Zhurong has a laser to zap rocks and thereby study their compositions.[1]
