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.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

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
