How long does it take to get to Mars? – BBC News
Why are there so many attempts to get to Mars at the moment?
The United Arab Emirate’s Hope satellite was despatched last week and now China has launched its first rover mission to the red planet.
Nasa’s Perseverance Rover is scheduled to take off on 30th July.
Well, summer 2020 is a popular time for missions to the red planet because of the way the planets align – but how long does it take to get there?
Landing on Mars is known as the “seven minutes of terror”, and there are lots of reasons why.
Here BBC Science Correspondent Laura Foster explains how long it takes to get there and why it’s so difficult.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham has told the BBC that PC Andrew Harper’s killers will remain behind bars as he announces changes to the early release scheme aimed at easing prison overcrowding.
In an exclusive interview with BBC Breakfast, Burnham said anyone convicted of manslaughter will be excluded from changes brought in under the Sentencing Act, which would have made the killers eligible for early release.
Burnham said extra prison spaces would be created by deporting “hundreds” of foreign prisoners and releasing some inmates serving indefinite sentences.

Twenty-seven people have been killed and almost 400 evacuated after a Russian strike hit a warehouse near Kyiv, triggering a fire and a series of explosions.
Regional governor Tymur Tkachenko said a further 42 people, including four children, were injured after the Russian drone strike in the Bucha district.
An investigation has been launched into whether ammunition was being stored at the site, where search and rescue operations were ongoing early on Saturday.
Russia’s Ministry of Defence said in a statement that its forces had targeted “an ammunition depot” in the Kyiv region village of Myla, which stores “components and launch boosters for FP-1/FP-2 long-range unmanned aerial vehicles”.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed his condolences to the families of the victims of the strike, saying that more than 300 emergency respondents had been deployed to the strike area.

At least 17 people were killed in the latest round of Russian missile and drone attacks, officials in Ukraine have said.
The country is seeing a surge in the number of civilian casualties, as Russian strikes exploit weaknesses in Ukraine’s air defence systems.
Capital city Kyiv was targeted in the recent strikes, along with cities in the east of the country.

And when you get there? Live permanently indoors, or in a highly protective suit. Make sure you carry tons of Prozac.

I just had an idea. If we build several space stations in the same orbit as Mars we could travel to the space station we are closest to then wait for Mars to pass by and fly down to the planet. It would be always be the shortest distance. Much more spaceships could land. We wouldn't have to wait 2 years to get close. Mars could pass a space station every month if we built 24 of them.

7 months? Who you are u fooling humans in their current life form can never reach mars. On top 50 years after landing on moon we still struggle to land on moon again. I can't believe NASA is selling BS to world. In its shortest distance light takes 30 min to reach earth that means you found about rover landing 30 min after it landed. WOW

No we don't travel to mars like that. The spacecraft/satellite travels in earth's orbit and by gradually increasing the acceleration, it extends its orbit and that orbit meets the position where mars will be in next 7 months
