A space probe on the surface of Mars sends a radio signal back to the Earth, a distance of 7.03 x 107 km. Radio waves travel at the speed of light (3.00 108 m/s). How many seconds does it take for the signal to reach the Earth?
t = d/v
= (7.03X1010 m)/(3x108 m/s)
= 234.3 s - time taken

How many minutes are required for a radio signal to travel from Earth to a space station on Mars if the planet Mars is 7.83 x 107 km from Earth? Remember give your answer in minutes (min).
The maximum distance between the Earth and Mars is 378,000,000 km and the minimum distance is 168,000,000 km. The maximum amount of time for a radio signal to travel from Mars to Earth is ____ seconds.
A space probe is launched to explore the surface of Jupiter. It takes approximately 60 minute for the radio signal to travel from the space probe back to the Earth. The space probe is equipped with a microwave power source of 100 W and directional antenna of 45 dB gain. A large dish antenna (Earth station) operating at 3 GHz is deployed to monitor the signal coming from the probe. If the received power of the Earth station is –160...
The space probe Dawn is currently orbiting Ceres, the largest object in the Asteroid Belt. It is about 517,000,000 km from Earth. How long will it take mes- sages from the Dawn spacecraft to reach Earth? Hints: The speed of light is 300,000 km/sec. and there are 60 seconds in a minute. The space probe Dawn is currently orbiting Ceres, the largest object in the Asteroid Belt. It is about 517,000,000 km from Earth. How long will it take mes-...
COMPUTER NETWORK 9. Consider a rover placed on the surface of Mars. Normally, Mars is about 140 million miles away from Earth. Suppose some command to maneuver the rover is sent from Earth. In free space the signal propagation speed is the same as that of light (0.3*106 KM/second). How long will it take for the signal to propagate from the surface of Earth to the surface of Mars?
2. Mars is currently 35.8 million miles away from Earth. How long would it take to send a radio signal to the Curiosity rover on Mars and receive an answer from the rover, assuming that the rover answers instantly? In other words, what is the round trip travel time for an electromagnetic wave to Mars right now? Recall that c = 3.00 x 108 m/s. Also, 1 mile = 1.61 km. Answer in minutes.

A space probe is to travel from Earth to a refueling station 5.05 ly away. At what speed must the probe travel in order for the Earth–station distance to be 2.45 ly, when measured in the reference frame of the probe? Express your answer as a multiple of c, the speed of light in a perfect vacuum. c
Space probes communicate with controllers on Earth using radio waves. Suppose a probe has a radiotransmitter that operates at a frequency of 433.0 MHz when at rest relative to the observer. This probe is now wandering the solar system. The signal you pick up from the probe is shifted 2.990E+4 Hz higher in frequency than the rest frequency given above. How fast is the probe traveling and is it traveling towards or away from Earth? (assume it is either traveling...
Space probes communicate with controllers on Earth using radio waves. Suppose a probe has a radiotransmitter that operates at a frequency of 645.0 MHz when at rest relative to the observer. This probe is now wandering the solar system. The signal you pick up from the probe is shifted 7.831E+4 Hz higher in frequency than the rest frequency given above. How fast is the probe traveling and is it traveling towards or away from Earth? (assume it is either traveling...
