MARS PROBE TIANWEN-1
It has been a year since China's Tianwen-1 probe landed on Mars. The mission has not only marked an important step in the country's interplanetary exploration but has also made a number of achievements in that time.
Future endeavors include launching an asteroid probe, retrieving samples from near-Earth asteroids and retrieving samples from Mars.
The Tianwen-2 probe has entered the preliminary prototype development stage.
BUILDING INTEGRATED PHOTOVOLTAICS
A building integrated photovoltaics project with huge arc-shaped rooftops has been completed in the city of Changshu, east China's Jiangsu Province, said State Grid Jiangsu Electric Power Co., Ltd.
Resembling gigantic curved mirrors from a distance, the project consists of 68,000 monocrystalline photovoltaic panels and has an installed capacity of 49,900 kW.
The project can not only generate electricity from solar power but provide shelter from wind and rain. It can deliver 48.5 million kWh of electricity and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 38,000 tonnes annually.
