We explore how long it takes to get to Mars and the factors that affect a journey to the Red Planet.
If the Parker Solar Probe managed to achieve the speeds reached during its 10th close flyby of the Sun and took a detour from its sun-focused mission to travel in a straight line from Earth to the Red Planet, the time it would take to get to Mars would be: Farthest approach: 686 hours Of course, the problem with the previous calculations is that they measure the distance between the two planets as a straight line.
How long it takes to reach Mars depends on where in their orbits the two planets lie when a mission is launched. It also depends on the technological developments of propulsion systems.
