China's Mars rover Zhurong has spent 100 days exploring the red planet's surface since it first set its wheels on Martian soil on May 22, according to the China National Space Administration on Monday.

8月30日来自国家航天局的消息，自今年5月22日祝融号火星车首次驶上火星表面，如今其巡火之旅已满100天。

The rover is part of China's Tianwen-1 mission that also consists of an orbiter and a lander.

The mission was launched on July 23, 2020.

As of Monday, Zhurong has traveled 1,064 meters on the surface of Mars, while the orbiter has been in orbit for 403 days.

The two are in good condition and functioning properly, according to the CNSA.

祝融号火星车是我国火星探测任务"天问一号"的一部分，"天问一号"探测器由火星车(巡视器)、环绕器和着陆器三部分组成，于2020年7月23日成功发射。

截至8月30日，祝融号火星车累计行驶1064米，环绕器在轨运行403天，目前两者均状态良好，运行平稳。

The probes will experience a sun outage in mid-to-late September when the Sun is aligned with Earth and Mars, with the solar radiation interfering with the communication between the probes and ground stations.

The orbiter and rover will stop working until the sun outage comes to an end, the space administration said.

9月中下旬，火星、地球将运行至太阳的两侧，且三者近乎处于一条直线，即出现日凌现象。

受太阳电磁辐射干扰的影响，届时"天问一号"无法跟地面建立联系，环绕器和火星车将转入安全模式，停止探测工作，直至日凌结束。
