Title: Tianwen rover flight article
Post by: Dalhousie on 02/04/2021 07:40 pm

I am looking for a photo of the actual flight version of the Tianwen rover.  All I can find are photos of mockups and test articles

Thanks in advance.

And got a response from someone else with the same tweet above, and another one with a picture of a wheel:
