   The mission is timed for launch when Earth and Mars are in good positions relative to each other for landing on Mars. That is, it takes less power to travel to Mars at this time, compared to other times when Earth and Mars are in different positions in their orbits.

   When are Mars launches scheduled?

   • Mars launches are scheduled when Earth and Mars are closest to each other, allowing mission planners to minimize the rocket energy required and maximize the weight of their spacecraft. It takes almost twice as long for Mars to orbit the Sun than Earth—365 days versus 687 days—which means Earth and Mars will be closest roughly every 2 years.

   Is there a lunar calendar for Mars?

   • Unlike on Earth, there is no leisurely-orbiting moon to give Mars "months," and while there have been many imaginative calendars suggested for Mars, none is in common use. The way that scientists mark the time of Mars year is to use solar longitude, abbreviated Ls (read "ell sub ess").
