The spacecraft was launched from the Changzheng 5 heavy launch vehicle from the Wenchang Cosmodrome in Hainan in southern China.

In 36 minutes after launch, the device entered orbit.

The Tianwen 1 mission includes an orbital station, a lander and a rover. They are slated to reach Mars by April 21, 2021.

After entering Mars orbit, a lander with a rover on board will land from the station. The latter is equipped with several cameras (including multispectral), sensors for measuring the magnetic field, meteorological measurements and a GPR. The objectives of the program include finding evidence of life on the planet (both past and present), mapping Mars, and studying the soil and atmosphere of the planet.
