China's Mars rover Zhurong had traveled more than 1,000 meters on the surface of the red planet as of Monday, the Lunar Exploration and Space Program Center of the China National Space Administration said.

The Mars rover has outlived its three-month life expectancy with all of its predetermined tasks completed.

国家航天局探月与航天工程中心表示，8月23日，"祝融号"火星车在火星表面行驶里程已突破1000米，已完成全部预定任务，且超出其3个月的设计寿命。

China's Tianwen 1 Mars probe streaked down through the Martian sky on May 15, becoming the country's first probe to land on a planet other than Earth.

The lander, carrying a Mars rover, touched down at its pre-selected landing area in the southern part of Utopia Planitia, a vast plain on the northern hemisphere of Mars.

2021年5月15日，"天问一号"火星探测器携"祝融号"火星车成功着陆于火星北半球乌托邦平原南部预选着陆区，实现了我国首次地外行星着陆。

Starting its exploration, Zhurong drove down from its landing platform to the Martian surface on May 22.

2021年5月22日，"祝融号"火星车离开着陆平台，驶入火星表面。

The CNSA added the rover will continue to move to the boundary zone between the ancient sea and land in the southern part of Utopia Planitia to carry out tasks.

国家航天局表示，"祝融号"火星车将继续向乌托邦平原南部的古海陆交界地带行驶，实施拓展任务。

The rover will suspend operations from mid-September to late October due to the anticipated disruption of its communications with Earth caused by solar electromagnetic radiation, and will then resume its mission.

2021年9月中旬至10月下旬，由于受太阳电磁辐射干扰的影响，器地通信将中断，火星车将停止探测工作，之后任务继续进行。
