Thousands of years ago,Chinese poet Qu Yuan wrote the poem Tianwen,meaning questing for heavenly truth.He came up with a lot of questions about the sky,stars and the world around us.The poem showed his doubts about traditional ideas and the spirit of finding the truth.
Inspired by the great poem,China has named its future planet exploration missions after the poem.“The first one in the series—a Mars exploration mission—has been named Tianwen1,” the China National Space Administration(CNSA)said on China's Space Day.This shows China's desire to explore the universe and discover its secrets.
As early as 1970,China launched its first man made earth satellite(卫星),becoming the fifth country in the world to launch a man made satellite independently.Since 2003,China has carried out a number of Shenzhou manned missions and sent two space labs into the earth's orbit.In December 2018,China became the first country to launch the probe Chang'e 4 to the moon's far side,which always faces away from the earth.
The Tianwen series will follow the Shenzhou and Chang'e series and move further into space.China's Mars mission is now in progress.
Then China plans to visit Mars again in 2028 to collect soil from the surface of the planet and bring it to the earth.Around 2030,China will explore Jupiter(木星)and others,according to CNSA.

Thousands of years ago,Chinese poet Qu Yuan wrote the poem Tianwen,meaning questing for heavenly truth.He came up with a lot of questions about the sky,stars and the world around us.The poem showed his doubts about traditional ideas and the spirit of finding the truth.
Inspired by the great poem,China has named its future planet exploration missions after the poem.“The first one in the series—a Mars exploration mission—has been named Tianwen1,” the China National Space Administration(CNSA)said on China's Space Day.This shows China's desire to explore the universe and discover its secrets.
As early as 1970,China launched its first man made earth satellite(卫星),becoming the fifth country in the world to launch a man made satellite independently.Since 2003,China has carried out a number of Shenzhou manned missions and sent two space labs into the earth's orbit.In December 2018,China became the first country to launch the probe Chang'e 4 to the moon's far side,which always faces away from the earth.
The Tianwen series will follow the Shenzhou and Chang'e series and move further into space.China's Mars mission is now in progress.
Then China plans to visit Mars again in 2028 to collect soil from the surface of the planet and bring it to the earth.Around 2030,China will explore Jupiter(木星)and others,according to CNSA.
