So the probe had to ___27___ the landing on its own!
Gu Yue: That’s amazing!
Li Ping: Indeed. When the probe finally slowed down at 100 meters above Mars. It stayed in the air and ___28___ the landing area. It had to move away from the objects in its way such as rocks, ___29___ finally touching down.
