Al Jazeera, 23 Jul 2020
China has launched its first independent mission to Mars.
It will take seven months to reach the Red Planet, where it will attempt to land and release a rover that will explore the planet and conduct experiments.
This is just one of a number of ambitious space projects by China, but it has competition.
