China has completed the modification of two relay satellites to prepare them for country's Mars exploration mission Tianwen-1.

The Tianlian I-02 and Tianlian II-01 geosynchronous orbit satellites mainly provide global tracking and data-relay support for the country's in-orbit spacecraft, reports Xinhua.

The fourth Long March-5 rocket will be used to launch China's first Mars exploration mission.
