China's Mars probe completes first orbital correction

China's Mars probe Tianwen-1 successfully carried out its first orbital correction Sunday morning, according to the China National Space Administration.

The probe conducted the orbital correction at 7 a.m. Beijing time after its 3000N engine worked for 20 seconds, and continued to head for Mars. All the systems of the probe were in good condition.

China launched its first Mars mission Tianwen-1, which means "Questions to Heaven," on July 23, marking the country's first step in planetary exploration of the solar system.
