The mission, given a name that means 'Questions to Heaven,' aims to enter Martian orbit 7 months after the launch and release a small rover to study the planet's surface.
China's first Mars probe has beamed back a photo of the Earth and the Moon as it heads toward its destination, the country's space agency said Tuesday, July 28.
China joined the United States and United Arab Emirates this month in launching a mission to Mars, taking advantage of a period when Mars and Earth are favorably aligned. It's the latest milestone in Beijing's space program, which has sent two rovers to the Moon and set up a satellite navigation, Beidou, to rival the United States' GPS.
