"The state has approved the planetary exploration project, including the first mission to Mars by Tianwen 1, an asteroid exploration of landing, sampling and return. And third, we will take samples back from Mars and the fourth mission will be a probe of the Jupiter system, as well as some probes traversing the universe."

"For example, do we need to explore the edge of the Solar System or not? As there are eight planets in the Solar System, we do not want to simply repeat our missions. Each mission of China should have new goals and bear new meanings, and strive for new major scientific discoveries. We welcome cooperation with interested institutions and scientists in our future deep-space missions that include exploring the moon and other planets."

China is planning to explore an asteroid and some other planets in the universe in future on the basis of the successful launch of the Tianwen-1 space exploration mission in 2020, says Wu Yanhua, deputy director of China National Space Administration.
"The state has approved the planetary exploration project, including the first mission to Mars by Tianwen 1, an asteroid exploration of landing, sampling and return. And third, we will take samples back from Mars and the fourth mission will be a probe of the Jupiter system, as well as some probes traversing the universe," Wu said in an exclusive interview with China Central Television (CCTV).
He said the planetary exploration project is scheduled to be completed in the next 10 to 15 years. In addition, China is still evaluating long-term development strategy for space exploration, such as exploration of the edge of the Solar System.
"For example, do we need to explore the edge of the Solar System or not? As there are eight planets in the Solar System, we do not want to simply repeat our missions. Each mission of China should have new goals and bear new meanings, and strive for new major scientific discoveries. We welcome cooperation with interested institutions and scientists in our future deep-space missions that include exploring the moon and other planets," Wu said.
Tianwen-1 is an interplanetary mission by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) to send a robotic spacecraft to Mars, consisting of 5 parts: an orbiter, deployable camera, lander, drop camera, and the Zhurong rover.
The spacecraft, with a total mass of nearly five tons, is one of the heaviest probes launched to Mars and carries 13 scientific instruments. It is the first in a series of planned missions undertaken by CNSA as part of its Planetary Exploration of China program.
The mission was launched from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in south China's Hainan Province on July 23, 2020 on a Long March 5 heavy-lift launch vehicle.
After seven months of transit through the inner Solar System, the spacecraft entered Martian orbit on February 10, 2021 For the next three months the probe studied the target landing sites from a reconnaissance orbit. On May 14, 2021, the lander/rover portion of the mission successfully touched down on Mars, making China the third nation to both land softly on and establish communication from the Martian surface, after the former Soviet Union and the United States.
