US satellite looks down on China's Zhurong Mars rover - BBC News

The image acquired by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) shows the Zhurong robot a short distance in front of its landing platform.

The HiRise camera on MRO also detected the parachute and components of the capsule (backshell and heatshield) that brought Zhurong through the atmosphere.

The rover landed on 14 May in a region of the planet called Utopia Planitia.

The robot looks a lot like the US space agency's (Nasa) Spirit and Opportunity vehicles from the 2000s.
