China says that Zhurong, the country's first rover to explore Mars, exceeded its life expectancy this month and continues to operate.
According to CNSA the rover has now traveled 1,064 meters south from its landing site.
It is 1.85 meters tall and weighs 529 lb, according to CNSA. In a press release posted early on Tuesday the space agency said the rover was"in good shape" and was headed further south from its original landing point on a journey to the shore Mars' Utopia Planitia plain, located within the Utopia impact basin.
As a result the rover is on what the agency called an"extended expedition" towards the coastal area of Utopia Planitia.
