It can take up to 10 months for a spacecraft to get from Earth to Mars. But the entire journey can be in vain if something goes wrong in the last six minutes. That’s how long the vehicle has to slow from its initial descent rate of 12,000 miles per hour to near zero for a smooth landing. The process is incredibly complicated, and the lander will only have one shot to get it right. Read article >
