Yinghuo-1 was a Chinese Mars-exploration space probe intended to be the first Chinese spacecraft to explore Mars. It was launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome Kazakhstan on 8 November 2011 along with the Russian Fobos-Grunt sample return spacecraft which was intended to visit Mars’ moon Phobos. The 115-kg (250-lb) Yinghuo-1 probe was intended by the CNSA to orbit Mars for about two years studying the planet’s surface atmosphere ionosphere and magnetic field.
