China launches Tianwen-1 Mars probe
China successfully launched its Tianwen-1 probe to Mars today at 12:41 p.m. Peking time from the Wenchang launch site on Hainan Island. The Long March-5 rocket performed well and the spacecraft successfully separated from the booster after performing the Trans-Mars injection burn where it will arrive at Mars in February 2021. Tianwen (Heavenly Questions)-1 consists of a Mars orbiter, lander and rover, and is the first interplanetary mission to launch from Chinese territory. The Chinese space agency has selected two preliminary landing sites at Utopia Planitia in Mars' northern hemisphere, the same region where NASA's Viking 2 probe touched down in 1976.

Self-video of Tianwen performing the Mars Orbit Insertion burn. You can see the solar panels and high-gain antenna shaking as the rocket engine fires.

Since the TW-1 lander will be touching down somewhere in Utopia Planitia, the images it sends back should be similar to Viking 2's, unless the Chinese space agency selects a site with what they believe will have different terrain from the Viking 2 site.

Planned Tianwen-1 landing site in Utopia Planitia. It will be to the south of Viking 2 by a considerable distance, so the rover won't drive up to it and take some pictures, unfortunately.

How much of their design was copied from NASA designs, and how much is original? On casual observation, I didn't see anything in the design that NASA hadn't already done. Perhaps the off-ramps were original; I don't recall seeing those on a NASA mission, but I could be mistaken.

Even if they did copy the design from NASA, they still had to build the craft, and execute the mission, which appears to have been successful.

According to what I read on nasaspaceflight.com, pictures from the lander/rover should be released in a few hours during a CGTN broadcast.

Looks like a lot less rocky area of Utopia Planitia than Viking 2's location. It's similar to Mars InSight's landing site in Elysium Planitia. The rover shouldn't have any problems navigating the terrain. Drive-off ramps are deployed normally. The two bright areas in the upper right corner of the black-and-white photo (from the rover's hazard avoidance camera) could be the parachute and backshell. Northern Utopia Planitia as photographed by Viking 2 lander in 1976.

Not hearing much from TW-1 after landing May 14 and the rover descending down the ramp to the surface on the 22nd. No new pictures from the surface either--the release of data from the Chinese space agency is almost non-existent. The Zhurong rover can only communicate with Earth when the orbiter passes over the landing site, which should be at least once a day. There might be some kind of technical problem, but they're saying nothing.

I was hoping for some high quality photos of the surface, but maybe the yellow man who assembled the rover was the same one who passed off a motherboard in QA inspection that shipped to me with horribly bent pins inside of the CPU socket?
