What does the Chinese National Space Administration have to offer the mission in the Martian?
China’s mission to Mars features a probe that will land on the planet with help from a parachute. A parachute attached to a protective SHELL will slow the lander’s descent. Next, a set of STRUTS will deploy midair. Once on the surface, a RAMP will slide out so the rover can drive off.
