2021 Mars Landings: Perseverance (“Percy”, similar to Curiosity); UAE’s Hope probe, China’s Spacecraft Tianwen-1 orbiter, rover Zhurong
China landed a spacecraft on Mars for the first time on Saturday, a technically challenging feat more difficult than a moon landing, a rover to stay in the lander for a few days of diagnostic tests before rolling down a ramp to explore an area of Mars known as Utopia Planitia. It will join an American rover that arrived at the red planet in February.

After a nearly seven-month journey to Mars, NASA’s Perseverance rover is slated to land at the Red Planet’s Jezero Crater Feb. 18, 2021, a rugged expanse chosen for its scientific research and sample collection possibilities.
After a nearly seven-month journey to Mars, Also traveling with Perseverance is the Mars helicopter experiment named Ingenuity. This solar-powered helicopter drone has a mass of 1.8 kg (4.0 lb). It is demonstrating flight stability in the rarefied Martian atmosphere and the potential to scout for ideal driving routes for the rover over its planned 30-Martian-day (31-Earth-day) experimental flight test window.
