Earlier Tianwen -1 entered the Mars orbit successfully with the NASA's Perseverance Rover and UAE's Hope Mars Mission
Once on Mars, the Tianwen-1 landing platform will extend a ramp, allowing the Zhurong rover to roll gently onto the surface—similar to the way China’s Chang’e Moon rovers are deployed. The rover can communicate with Earth directly, or with the Tianwen-1 orbiter, which can relay signals. The orbiter has its own set of science instruments for studying Mars, including a high-resolution camera that should produce stunning images.

Similar to any mars landing, China's Tianwen -1 or Zhurong rover will experience a 7 minutes of terror in which it will perform EDL (entry descent and landing). The landing will be different from the Nasa's rover and will not use any skycrane to land the rover on Mars.
The capsule is projected to make an atmospheric entry followed by a descent phase under parachute, after which the lander will use retro-propulsion to soft-land on Mars. If all goes according to plan, the lander will then deploy the rover, which is designed to explore the surface for 90 sols; the rover has a height of 1.85 meter and a mass of about 240 kg. On April 24, 2021, in anticipation of the upcoming landing attempt, CNSA announced the rover is to be named Zhurong (the name Zhurong references a mytho-historical figure in Chinese folklore usually associated with fire). After the planned rover deployment, the orbiter would serve as a telecommunications relay for the rover while continuing to conduct its own orbital observations of Mars.
If the rover landing and deployment are successful, China would become only the second country to accomplish this feat, after the United States. It would also become the third country to achieve a successful soft landing on Mars, after the Soviet Union and the United States.
Tianwen-1 (TW-1) is an interplanetary mission by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) to send a robotic spacecraft to Mars, consisting of an orbiter, deployable camera, lander and rover. The mission was successfully launched from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site on 23 July 2020 on a Long March 5 heavy-lift rocket and is currently en route to Mars, expected to reach planetary orbit on 10 February 2021. In September 2020 Tianwen-1 deployed the TW-1 Deployable Camera (TDC), a small satellite with two cameras that took photos of and tested a Wi-Fi connection with Tianwen-1. Tianwen-1 has also completed two mid-course orbital corrections and performed self diagnostics on multiple payloads. The spacecraft has begun to conduct scientific operations with the Mars Energetic Particle Analyzer, mounted on the orbiter, which has already transmitted data back to ground control. Its objectives are to search for evidence of both current and past life, and to assess the planet's environment. If the rover lands on Mars it will make China the third country to do so after Russia and USA .
The aims of the mission may include searching for evidence of current and past life, producing surface maps, characterizing soil composition and water ice distribution, and examining the Martian atmosphere, and in particular its ionosphere.
