China has released the first picture of a spacecraft that has been developed to reach Mars.

Beijing aims to land the explorer on the Red Planet in less than two years to celebrate the centenary of the ruling Communist Party.

A picture of the explorer, called 'Mars 1', was published today by the state-owned China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC), Beijing's main space manufacturer.

The craft is seen partially covered by golden sheets while a banner at the front suggests the craft was undergoing its last tests. Four workers are seen working around the explorer.


All teams are now ready for the launch of the probe, which is scheduled to take place next year, the scientist revealed.

China has built a mock Mars base-camp 'Mars Base1' in the Gobi Desert to mimic the landscape and living conditions on the Red Planet. The country plans to launch its mission to Mars in 2020

He said the mission, which will be China's first scientific journey to Mars, contained three steps: the spacecraft would first fly around the Red Planet, then land on it and survey it.

'There are a lot of difficulties in it.

If it proves to be a success, it will be the first time any country completes the three tasks in one mission,' he was quoted saying in an official social media post by Global Times.



Mars base simulator sits in the middle of the remote Gobi desert in China's Qinghai region.

The Martian Camp simulator, which cost approximately £17 million ($22.3 million) to build.

China's space agency, CNSA, hopes that the camp becomes a visiting centre for researchers and adventure-seekers alike to take on challenges that face astronauts on Mars.

The white-coloured base has a silver dome and nine modules, including living quarters and a greenhouse.

Chinese lunar mission Chang'e-4 and its rover Yutu-2 (pictured) reached the far side of the moon at the start of this year. It was the first time a spacecraft had landed there in history.

Innovative and patriotic. Ground breaking if their mission is successful.

China is making good use of their every resource. Something I wish Nigeria will do.

Chinnnnnnnna!!! My home country. This is a country that believes in human capacity.

To denounce Nigeria is the sweetest thing I would like to do.


Bring your dollars funds and get naira instantly.

[color=#1980BC]I don't think its technologically feasible to send people to mars for now much more to even establish base camps....except if you are sending or experimenting with the lives of death row convicts with today's rocket propulsion technology.. [/color]

Naija go soon go Jupiter joor... Mars ko, Mars chocolate bar ni.

Chinese and innovation be like 5&6.

Always adventurous

Hmmm

If Nigeria continues the way they are going in politics, 100 years they are still going to remain like this. imagine what a 70 year old has achieved a 59 year old is still struggling from the foundation. Age is indeed a number. The colonial masters left nigeria too early. The bitter truth is 50 years from now Nigeria will keep struggling like this unless they change. If not for Obasanjo way bring Mobile phone come Nigeria come improve standard of living for many people, things would have been worse

While we are here arrogantly calling their products China made (fake) and insulting our own indigenous manufacturers they continue to break their own records and attain new exploits.

What have we achieved with our silly pride and arrogance? Underdevelopment, poverty, unemployment, backwardness.. you can fill in the gap.

It's high time we started thinking, just THINK! All these our forming no pay us in any way.. we even pull each other down here with our crab mentality.. to what end please? What is our problem sef? In fact I no dey talk again.

That one is small.. We also unveil our pencil and toothpick factory recently

See for yourself

By 2020 we will start producing pencils

How many inmates will that toil accommodate?
Where is their food store?
Where will is the club, bar and ladies sit?

So many thing dey wrong here....
Black man is angry.

Black man will go Jupiter.

When one country is still battling terrorism, heads men, economy, health care, education e.t.c May God help us.

Hmmmm! Intriguing.
Africa where are thou?
Sleeping in advancement?
Wallowing in poverty?
Happy in partying?
Busy celebrating corruption?
Not thinking to be good for anything?

God! Remove the foundational curses affecting this continent and her people.

I just wish it was my country making all this headway....

And Nigeria is still battling with 2 days ON 1 day OFF sharing of Light

china is in a world of its own.. as far as one nigeria is concerned, we will never achieve this even in a million years

The Chinese are not playing at all, same Chinese that are already tapping into the earth crust looking for God knows what!!
