Mars is so far away in fact that it takes radio signals quite a long time to get from the spacecraft back to Earth. During Curiosity EDL, this delay will be 13 minutes, 48 seconds, about mid-way between the minimum delay of around 4 minutes and the maximum of around 24 minutes.
To determine how long it will take to reach Mars, we must first know the distance between the two planets. Mars is the fourth planet from the sun, and the second closest to Earth (Venus is the closest).But the distance between the two planets is constantly changing as they travel around the sun.ere is a list of how long it took several historical missions to reach the red planet. Their launch dates are included for perspective. 1  Mariner 4, the first spacecraft to go to Mars (1964 flyby): 228 days.
