There are many variables to consider in this question, such as the type of rocket, the distance to Mars at the time, the time involved in Lift Off from Earth, and descent to Mars, etc.
Mars is orbiting the Sun, as is the Earth, which means distances are always changing.
On 'average,' the distance to Mars is about: 156.9 million miles
Recently (November 2011) NASA sent a rocket carrying the Curiosity Rover to Mars.
It took 254 days from liftoff to landing on Mars.
NASA calculated and waited until Mars was closer to Earth, which was significantly closer than the 'average' distance.
The distance to Mars at this time was 'only' 127 million miles (29 million miles closer).
To reach Mars in 254 days at this distance, not figuring in fine details such as liftoff and descent, the rocket carrying Curiosity had to be traveling at speeds of about 500,000 miles per day, or about 21,000 miles per hour (roughly 347 miles per minute or roughly 6 miles per second).
What else can I help you with?
How long does it take to get to the moon by rocket?
it takes 13 hours to get to the moon by a rocket
How long does it takes a rocket fron earth to mars?
That is solely a question of speed. If Mars was 100 miles away, and you were travelling at 100 miles per hour, it would take 1 hour. NASA plans on about a 9 month trip from the earth for manned flights to mars in the future.
The speed at which you travel in space unaided?
The speed ranges for rockets.The speed of the rocket depends on the power of the rocket. The speed may vary from 5000 kph to 40000 kph. You can only travel at 40000 kph only if the engine is at full thrust.
How long does it take a rocket to get to the moon?
takes about 2-4 days, depending on gravity
How does a rocket get out of earths orbit?
A rocket gets out of Earth's orbit by achieving escape velocity, which is the speed needed to break free from the gravitational pull of Earth. The rocket's engines provide thrust to accelerate it to this speed, allowing it to overcome Earth's gravity and travel into deep space.
When people can travel to Mars?
When people can make their rocket as fast as light, then they can go to the Mars.
Can you travel to Mars?
no rocket only been to the moon but probes e.g mars rover or sojouney
Do mars and earth travel at the same speed?
no
What is the normal speed for a rocket - shuttle?
a rocket or shuttle will travel up to 25,000 mile per hour
How many kilometers can a rocket travel in 15 minutes?
You need its speed to answer this question.
What speed do firework rockets travel at?
Firework rockets can travel at speeds of up to 200 miles per hour (320 km/h) as they ascend into the sky. This speed can vary depending on factors such as the size and design of the rocket.
How fast does mars travel through space?
The orbital speed of mars averages at around 24.077 km/s.
What would you need to go to Mars?
You would need a rocket ship in order to travel to Mars. You would also need a space suit and an oxygen tank.
How long it will take a time if people will go to sun from earth by rocket?
It would take about 19 years to travel by rocket from Earth to the Sun, assuming the rocket is traveling at a speed of 36,000 miles per hour. The distance between the Earth and the Sun is about 93 million miles, so the time to travel will depend on the speed of the rocket.
How many days for one to travel to mars?
This would depend on the relative locations of Earth and Mars, as well as the spaceship used to travel there. In the past, the typical length of travel of the various probes sent to Mars has ranged between 150 and 300 or so days. For example, in 1976, Viking 1 took 335 days to reach Mars; and in 2012, Curiosity Lander reached Mars in 253 days. One of the latest developments in space travel technology has been the VASIMR rocket, which could potentially reduce the length of travel significantly - perhaps as little as 39 days. However, until a full-sized model of this rocket is successfully built and launched - or something else is developed that matches VASIMR's predicted speed - the time required to travel to the red planet will be in the area of 150-300 days.
How long does it take to get to the moon by rocket?
it takes 13 hours to get to the moon by a rocket
How fast did the rocket that took curiosity to mars travel through space?
An approximation: it went 350,000,000 miles in about 8 months or 240 days, and 24 hrs in an earth day, so it must have been traveling at about 64,000 miles/hr.
