美国驻华使团与NASA一道祝贺中国成功发射“天问一号”任务。

“祝贺中国‘天问一号’团队成功发射首次火星探测任务。全球科学界期待这次任务将为人类了解这个红色星球所提供的数据和带来的贡献！”——NASA科学任务理事会副局长托马斯·祖布肯（Thomas Zurbuchen）

“随着今天的发射，中国将加入火星国际科学探索者的队伍。美国、欧洲、俄罗斯、印度以及很快阿联酋将欢迎你们来到火星，开启激动人心的科学发现之年。祝‘天问一号’一路顺利！”——NASA局长吉姆·布莱登斯汀（Jim Bridenstine）

NASA自己的“毅力号”火星探测器计划于7月30日发射，这是三个任务之一——与阿拉伯联合酋长国的“希望号”探测器和中国的“天问一号”一起——利用地球和火星距离比往常更近的短暂窗口期。所有三个任务都计划明年二月份到达火星。

The U.S. Mission to China joins NASA in congratulating China on the successful launch of its Tianwen-1 mission.

“Congratulations to China’s Tianwen-1 team for the successful launch of its first Mars exploration mission. The global science community looks forward to the data and contributions this mission will make to humanity’s understanding of the Red Planet!” - Thomas Zurbuchen, Associate Administrator, NASA Science Mission Directorate

“With today’s launch, China is on its way to join the community of international scientific explorers at Mars. The United States, Europe, Russia, India, and soon the UAE will welcome you to Mars to embark on an exciting year of scientific discovery. Safe travels Tianwen-1!” - Jim Bridenstine, NASA Administrator 

NASA’s own Mars Perseverance rover is scheduled to launch on July 30, one of three missions - together with the United Arab Emirates’ Hope orbiter and China’s Tianwen-1 - taking advantage of a brief window of time when Earth and Mars are closer than usual. All three missions are due to arrive at Mars next February.
