China's Zhurong rover successfully landed on the surface of Mars May 14. The lander safely made it to the surface in the Utopia Planitia region of Mars shortly after 7 pm EDT (2300 GMT).

Zhurong will soon begin an initial 90-day mission to explore and analyze the local area, climate, magnetic field and subsurface.
