how long does it take to get to get to mars?

The trip takes around seven months; a bit longer than astronauts currently stay on the International Space Station. The precise duration of each journey depends on when it is taken. Because both Mars and Earth's orbits are not perfectly circular, the time it takes to travel between them varies from six to eight months.

To get to the closest galaxy to ours, the Canis Major Dwarf, at Voyager's speed, it would take approximately 749,000,000 years to travel the distance of 25,000 light years! If we could travel at the speed of light, it would still take 25,000 years!

Traveling at speeds of over 35,000 miles per hour, it will take the Voyagers nearly 40,000 years, and they will have traveled a distance of about two light years to reach this rather indistinct boundary. But there is a more definitive and unambiguous frontier, which the Voyagers will approach and pass through.

The numbers get a little wiggly, owing to the constant movement of the two involved planets, but a crewed trip to Mars, using current technology, would take about nine months. That's quite a road trip. The point is, there's a whole lot of space out there and getting anywhere interesting takes way too long.

The route can be as long as 2336 miles, or 3759 kilometers. On average, the journey takes 103 hours and 40 minutes.

How long does it take to travel to the Moon? It takes about 3 days for a spacecraft to reach the Moon. During that time a spacecraft travels at least 240,000 miles (386,400 kilometers) which is the distance between Earth and the Moon.

If you were to reach Mars based on the current speeds of spaceships, it would take roughly nine months, according to the Nasa Goddard Space Flight Centre's website. Unmanned spacecraft travelling to Mars have taken anywhere from 128 days to 333 days to reach the red planet.

A Soyuz trip to the space station takes around six hours from launch to docking. A return journey takes around half the time, at just over three hours to make it safely to the ground.

See NASA's big plans for its new Mars rover, Perseverance (CNN) The NASA Perseverance rover has been confirmed to be healthy and is now on a journey to Mars. It will take between 6.5 and seven months before the rover lands on the red planet in February 2021.

So distance between Earth and Mars can be easily obtained by simple subtraction. On average we are 225 million kms apart. 54 million kms on closest, 401 million km on farthest .

Mariner 10 took 147 days to get from Earth to Mercury. More recently, NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft launched on August 3, 2004 to study Mercury in orbit. It made its first flyby on January 14th, 2008. That's a total of 1,260 days to get from Earth to Mercury.

This duration is a bit of a problem, as it makes space exploration a painstakingly slow process. Even if we hopped aboard the space shuttle discovery, which can travel 5 miles a second, it would take us about 37,200 years to go one light-year.

How long is a day and year on Mars? Mars is a planet with a very similar daily cycle as the Earth. Its sidereal day is 24 hours, 37 minutes and 22 seconds and its solar day 24 hours, 39 minutes and 35 seconds. A Martian day (referred to as “sol”) is therefore approximately 40 minutes longer than a day on Earth.

SpaceX's recently launched Falcon Heavy payload – which included a Tesla car – is expected to pass Mars by around October, although there's no official public estimate. Tech mogul Elon Musk – who heads up SpaceX – says his Interplanetary Transport System (ITS) could manage the journey in just 80 days.

Asked by: Matt B, Glastonbury To get to the Moon would take a little longer though, since it's 400,000km (250,000 miles) away – around 10 times the circumference of the Earth. So it would take as long as driving around the world 10 times – just under six months.

Originally Answered: How long does a spacecraft from Earth take to reach the space station? The Soyuz* (currently the only platform to transport humans) usually takes about 2 days to orient its orbit inline with the ISS so it can safely maneuver to dock. However, it has been done in as little as 6 hours.
