BEIJING (China Daily/ANN): Barely a month after China landed its first rover on Mars, the country's scientists already have plans to explore Jupiter, the largest planet in our Solar System.

Zhang Rongqiao, an official at the China National Space Administration and chief planner of the Tianwen 1 Mars mission, told reporters at a news conference at his administration's Beijing headquarters on Saturday (June 12) that China will not be content with the success of its first Mars expedition, but will continue its interplanetary adventures.
