Solar panels against an alien landscape, ramps, and rods pointing at the Martian horizon – China’s first probe on the Red Planet has beamed back its first “selfies” after its history-making landing last week.

The Zhurong rover was carried into the Martian atmosphere in a lander on Saturday, in the first-ever successful probe landing by any country on its first Mars mission.

Zhurong, named after a mythical Chinese fire god, arrived a few months behind the United States’ latest probe to Mars – Perseverance – and has been celebrated in China as a milestone in its ascent to space superpower status.

On Wednesday, The China National Space Administration published the images taken by cameras attached to the rover, which showed the obstacle-avoidance equipment and solar panels on the vehicle, as well as the texture of the Martian surface.

 “People of the internet, the Mars images you’ve been longing for are here,” the space agency said in a social media post containing the images.

The rover’s landing was a nail-biter for Chinese space engineers, with state media describing the process of using a parachute to slow descent and buffer legs as “the most challenging part of the mission”.

It is expected to spend around three months there taking photos and harvesting geographical data.
