  A milestone for Beijing's space program: China launches Tianwen-1 with a rover to research Mars

  

  China launched a rover to Mars on Thursday, another milestone for its space program after putting humans into orbit and landing a probe on the moon. It is among a trio of nations, along with the United Arab Emirates and the United States, launching missions to the Red Planet this month, taking advantage of a period when Mars and Earth are favorably aligned.
