نبذة مختصرة : International audience ; The Chinese robotic probe Zhurong of the Tianwen-1 mission landed in May 2021 on Mars to become the sixth rover at the surface of the red planet. Zhurong landed in southern Utopia Planitia, an immense smooth area of lowland from the northern hemisphere thought to have possibly hosted marine to oceanic basins during the Hesperian to Noachian epochs [e.g., 1]. In-situ investigation conducted by the Zhurong rover during its ~1 year of activity allowed to gather new data on the sedimentary rocks composing the basement and aeolian features of this area (Fig. 1; [e.g., 2, 3]). In this work, we use Structure-from-Motion photogrammetry to produce 3D Digital Outcrop Models (DOM) of workspaces explored by the rover using images gathered by Zhurong, to assess their potential for use in future geological studies.
