Pitch-Story #2

Tianwen NO.1 detector landing on Mars is a popular topic in October in China. I would like to write about this subject for my second paper topic.

At 23:00 on October 9th, 2020, China’s Fly Group first completed the mission of probing Mars. Tianwen NO.1’s engine had fired for 480 seconds and successfully launched into space. This deep space track mechanic mission worked about twenty-nine million four hundred thousand meters away from the earth. The most incredible part of the Tianwen NO.1 Mars probe mission is that it took just one try to probe, land , and make a circuit with three programs. The achievement is unprecedented progression of human beings detecting the universe. Human beings had attempted Mars probing 44 times prior, but only 19 were successful; partial success happened 23 times. So, Mars was called “detector tomb”. Tianwen NO.1 also has overcome this problem. This great success on Mars has been one more giant leap for mankind.

For this fresh and interesting topic, I will do abundant research to find more details of the mission and behind story. Meanwhile, America had a similar plan for probing Mars before China complete the task in 2020. To find the reason why America postpone the original plan more than a few months is another point to write in the paper.
