Mars is so far away in fact that it takes radio signals quite a long time to get from the spacecraft back to Earth. During Curiosity EDL, this delay will be 13 minutes, 48 seconds, about mid-way between the minimum delay of around 4 minutes and the maximum of around 24 minutes.
How long does it take to reach Mars? Surveyor will take 309 days to reach Mars. In theory, the ideal transit time is 259 days. However, the journey can take anywhere between seven to 10 months depending on type of trajectory chosen and the precise locations of Earth and Mars at the time of launch.
