Re: Curiosity Rover Sends Back First 3D Images Of Mars A friend was saying last night he heard it takes something like 13 minutes for the signal to reach the rover. So when they tell it to drive forward they have to sit and wait 13 minutes until it does it? I cant really see that being true ![]() |

Re: Curiosity Rover Sends Back First 3D Images Of Mars It all looks pretty boring and empty where they are now, so I guess they'll just drive along until they find something of interest? I'd imagine they'll move the rover a few metres, then wait until they get some pics back, then move it a bit more until they get familiar with how it responds and all that. Interesting though, especially if some insect, or mahoosive footprint appears in the screen.... ![]() |

You're talking about something being between 100 to 200 million miles away. Radio delay is between 9-18 minutes each way. The rovers can communicate directly to earth for no more than 3 hours per day due power use. The rovers also communicate with orbiters for 8 minutes at a time then they can communicate with Earth for up to 16 hours per day. To send a couple large pictures can take hours before they are received. |
