The Tianwen-2 probe has successfully reached its target asteroid, 2016HO3, after a journey of approximately 400 days and covering about 1 billion kilometers. The probe is now in orbit around the asteroid, about 20 kilometers away, and has begun its scientific exploration, capturing imagery and refining the asteroid's positional data. This mission, launched from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, significantly improved the accuracy of 2016HO3's location from hundreds of kilometers to just a few. AI
