China will attempt to land a rover on Mars around the middle of this month. ABC takes up the story.

>While the exact landing date is unclear, i’s likely to be mid this month, according to reports from Chinese state media.

China’s Mars exploration program may be less mature than NASA’s, but the Tianwen-1 mission will make a significant contribution to the science community, said David Flannery of Queensland University of Technology, who works on NASA’s Perseverance mission.

“It is a capable mission that has some really ambitious science goals,” he said.

It’s also an important stepping stone to more sophisticated missions, in the same way that early NASA missions such as Pathfinder, which landed the first rover Sojourner in 1997, paved the way for the US Mars program, he said.

Onboard are six instruments, including cameras designed to map the terrain, sensors that analyse the chemistry of soil and rocks, ground-penetrating radar that will search for signs of ice water beneath the surface, a weather station, and a magnetic field detector.

While most of these instruments are analogous to those found on NASA rovers, the magnetic field detector could yield some exciting new science, Dr Flannery said.

“This is the first magnetometer sent to the surface of Mars,” Dr Flannery said.

The magnetometer on the rover will work with the magnetometer on the Tianwen-1 orbiter to measure Mars’ magnetic field.

“One of the big questions in planetary science is, ‘What happened to Mars in the past? Why is it so desolate?’” he said.

“One of the ways you can answer that question is by measuring the magnetic properties of rocks that recorded the state of the planetary magnetic field as they were deposited.”

The spacecraft will land somewhere in the southern part of a vast plain known as Utopia Planitia.

The 3,300-kilometre-wide plain is the largest impact crater on Mars.

Viking 2, one of NASA’s earliest missions, landed in the northern part of the crater in 1976.

As soon as it lands their rover will start accusing perserverance for insulting their cultural ownership of of far western China.

The rover’s primary mission is to locate an ‘old’ map which has a dotted line on it which indicates that China has always understood Mars to be a part of China.

The map will provide a basis on which follow-up missions and equipment can begin to alter the shape of the terrain, and install military facilities.

To date, no nation other than the USA has had a truly successful Mars lander.

The only non-American lander that could even be considered a partial success was Mars 3, which lost contact about a minute after landing.

That’s because the US doesn’t want anyone else on Mars. If they do land, they’ll find out that Mars is where they faked the Moon footage….

You haven’t heard that joke? hmm my memory isn’t good for joke telling, You mighht have to enlist Boris?

Here you go. The internet has a better meory for jokes than myself.

A ten year old public school boy was finding fifth grade math to be the challenge of his life. His mom and dad did everything and anything to help their son…private tutors, peer assistance, CD-ROMs, Textbooks, even HYPNOSIS! Nothing worked.

Finally, giving up they enrolled him into a small Catholic school to await another destiny.

At the end of the first day of school the boy walked in with a stern expression on his face, and walked right past the parents and went straight to his room -and quietly closed the door. For nearly two hours he toiled away in his room -with math books strewn about his desk and the surrounding floor. He only emerged long enough to eat, and after quickly cleaning his plate, he went straight back to his room, closed the door, and worked feverishly at his studies until bedtime.

The parents were not sure if they should comment on the boys extra efforts for fear of him losing this new found fervor, so they seemingly ignored it. This pattern continued ceaselessly.

One day the first quarter report card came out. Unopened, he dropped the envelope on the family dinner table and went straight to his room.

His parents were petrified. What lay inside the envelope? Cautiously the mother opened the letter, and to her amazement she saw a bright red “A” under the subject, MATH.

Overjoyed, she and her husband rushed into their son’s room, thrilled at the remarkable progress of their young son!

“Was it the nuns that did it?”, the father asked. The boy only shook his head and said, “No.” “Was it the one-on-one tutoring? The peer-mentoring?”, asked the mother. Again, the boy shrugged, “No.” “The textbooks? The teacher? The curriculum?”, asked the father. “Nope,” said the son. “It was all very clear to me from the very first day of Catholic school.”

“How so?”, asked his mom.

“When I walked into the lobby, and I saw that guy they’d nailed to the plus sign, I knew those people meant business!”

Well it was a setup at the time to entrap the Jews and later adopted by Christians as a symbol.

Off topic, but the movie about the Indian Mars mission that is playing on SBS movies channel is very enlightening. I totally recommend it.

eg. India managed a Mars orbiter before China
Use of India’s small rocket PSLV rather than the “Fat Boy” GSLV !
Use of a solar sail to make up for insufficient fuel !
Multiple flyby’s of Earth to gain enough energy to break out of Earth’s gravitational field !
Use of plastic to reduce weight, inspired by the great pacific garbage patch !
Hurricane over the Bay of Bengal

It’s called Mission Mangal
