The China National Space Administration (CNSA) published on Thursday three pictures taken by Zhurong, showing the parachute and bowl-shaped back shell used in the rover's landing.

The parachute and back shell were about 30 meters from the rover and 350 meters from the landing site, according to the statement.

As of Thursday afternoon, Zhurong, named after the Chinese god of fire in ancient mythology, had operated 60 days on Mars and traveled 450 meters to survey the barren planet. Meanwhile, the mission's orbiter has continued traveling around the Red Planet for orbital exploration.
