Mars rover Zhurong has traveled more than 800 m on the Martian surface as of 6 August, according to the Lunar Exploration and Space Programme Centre of the China National Space Administration. Zhurong has been traversing a complex terrain full of rocks, craters and dunes, and its rear hazard-avoidance camera captured a picture of the rover just moving across the rocks. By 6 August, the rover has worked on the surface of Mars for 82 Martian days and the Tianwen 1 orbiter has been in orbit for 379 days.
