Humans to Mars
Temperatures on Mars can range from -284 degrees F to 86 degrees F. The atmosphere on Mars is 96% carbon dioxide. One day on Mars lasts about 37 minutes longer than an Earth day. A year on Mars is almost twice as long as a year on Earth. Gravity on Mars is about one-third of the gravity on Earth.

SpaceX designs, manufactures and launches advanced rockets and spacecraft. The company was founded in 2002 to revolutionize space technology, with the ultimate goal of enabling people to live on other planets.
Mars 2020: Perseverance Rover
The Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover searches for signs of ancient microbial life, to advance NASA's quest to explore the past habitability of Mars. The rover is collecting core samples of Martian rock and regolith (broken rock and soil), for potential pickup by a future mission that would bring them to Earth for detailed study. Type.
NASA's Orion Flight Test and the Journey to Mars
Orion is the first spacecraft built for astronauts destined for deep space since the storied Apollo missions of the 1960s and 70s. It is designed to go farther than humans have ever traveled, well beyond the moon, pushing the boundaries of spaceflight to new heights. Orion will open the space between Earth and Mars for exploration by astronauts.
6 Technologies NASA is Advancing to Send Humans to Mars
Astronauts bound for Mars will travel about 140 million miles into deep space. Advancements in propulsion capabilities are the key to reaching our destination as quickly and safely as possible. It is too soon to say which propulsion system will take astronauts to Mars, but we know it needs to be nuclear-enabled to reduce travel time.
Mars Mission Timeline
The mission is timed for launch when Earth and Mars are in good positions relative to each other for landing on Mars. That is, it takes less power to travel to Mars at this time, compared to other times when Earth and Mars are in different positions in their orbits. As Earth and Mars orbit the Sun at different speeds and distances, about once ...

Mars
Mars Overview. Mars is no place for the faint-hearted. It's dry, rocky, and bitter cold. The fourth planet from the Sun, Mars, is one of Earth's two closest planetary neighbors (Venus is the other). Mars is one of the easiest planets to spot in the night sky - it looks like a bright red point of light. Despite being inhospitable to humans ...
How Long Does It Take to Get to Mars?
The two fastest travel times from Earth to Mars are for the Viking 6 and Viking 7 spacecraft, which took 155 and 128 days respectively. Both of these spacecraft were on flyby missions to image Mars, so they didn't need to slow down as they approached Mars as orbiters, landers and rovers need to do.
How NASA and SpaceX Will Get People From Earth to Mars ...
The final challenge is the return journey and getting people safely back to Earth. Apollo 11 entered Earth's atmosphere at about 40,000km/h (25,000 mph), which is just below the velocity required to escape Earth's orbit. Spacecraft returning from Mars will have re-entry velocities from 47,000km/h to 54,000km/h (29,000 mph to 34,000 mph ...

NASA Releases Plan Outlining Next Steps in the Journey to Mars
Earth Independent activities build on what we learn on the space station and in deep space to enable human missions to the Mars vicinity, possibly to low-Mars orbit or one of the Martian moons, and eventually the Martian surface. Future Mars missions will represent a collaborative effort between NASA and its partners—a global achievement that ...
How Long Would It Take To Travel To Mars?
On average, the distance between Mars and Earth is about 140 million miles (225 million kilometres). To traverse that distance would likely take several months to years depending on how fast of a rocket you have. However, the distance between Mars and Earth actually changes. Both Mars and Earth orbit the sun in ellipses, meaning the distance ...
Earth to Mars Distance: How Long Does It Take To Get to Mars

NASA's Perseverance Rover Is Midway to Mars
Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech. "Although we're halfway into the distance we need to travel to Mars, the rover is not halfway between the two worlds," Kangas explained. "In straight-line distance, Earth is 26.6 million miles [42.7 million kilometers] behind Perseverance and Mars is 17.9 million miles [28.8 million kilometers] in front.".
Distance to Mars: How far away is the Red Planet?
According to a NASA fact sheet, due to Mars' eccentric orbit, at its closest (perihelion) Mars is about 128 million miles (206 million km) from the sun and at its farthest distance (aphelion) Mars ...

NASA's BioSentinel Studies Solar Radiation as Earth Watches Aurora
In May 2024, a geomagnetic storm hit Earth, sending auroras across the planet's skies in a once-in-a-generation light display. These dazzling sights are possible because of the interaction of coronal mass ejections - explosions of plasma and magnetic field from the Sun - with Earth's magnetic field, which protects us from the radiation the Sun spits out during turbulent storms.
