As Earth and Mars race around the Sun, with Earth on the inside track, Earth laps Mars about once every 26 months. Launch opportunities to Mars occur at the same frequency, when the planets are positioned so that a spacecraft launched from Earth will be on a relatively short track to Mars (on the order of several months). This planetary clockwork, ...
The launch period is the range of days when a launch is possible to achieve the designated mission goal — in this case, successfully landing at Mars' Jezero Crater. The launch period for Perseverance to do that is targeted to begin July 20 and extend to Aug. 11, 2020. The launch window is the time period on a given day during which the rocket must ...
A two-stage United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V 541 launch vehicle will lift the Mars 2020 spacecraft from Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. The numbers "541" in the launch vehicle's designation signify a 5-meter (17-foot) short payload fairing, four solid-rocket boosters, and a one-engine Centaur upper stage. It stan...
