'Mars! China is coming!' the state news agency Xinhua said on social media
SHANGHAI— China launched its first mission to Mars on Thursday, aiming to join the short list of nations that have landed a spacecraft on another planet.
The Tianwen-1 blasted off from the Wenchang Space Launch Center on the island of Hainan at 12:40 p.m. local time aboard the newly developed Long March 5 rocket. It is expected to make the 34-million mile journey to Mars in seven months, after which it will attempt to slip into orbit around the planet and send a rover to the surface.
