Question:
Nasa's Perseverance Rover landed on Mars in February 2021. Assume that the transmission was over a direct 32 kbps wireless link between Perseverance and NASAs Deep Space Network (DSN) on Earth. The distance between Mars and Earth is 200 x 10 6 km. The propagation speed of the wireless signal is 2 x 10 8 m/s. How long, in seconds, would it take for Perseverance to transmit a 2000 byte packet from Mars back to Earth?
