The dusty, rocky Martian surface and a Chinese rover and lander bearing small national flags were seen in photos released Friday that the rover took on the Red Planet.
The four pictures released by the China National Space Administration also show the upper stage of the Zhurong rover and the view from the rover before it rolled off its platform.
Zhurong placed a remote camera about 10 metres (33 feet) from the landing platform, then withdrew to take a group portrait, the CNSA said.
The landscape of Mars captured by Chinese rover Zhurong is seen in this image.
