It is approximately 24 hours, 39 minutes, 35 seconds long. A Martian year is approximately 668.6 sols, equivalent to approximately 687 Earth days [ 1 ] or 1.88 Earth years. The sol was adopted in 1976 during the Viking Lander missions and is a measure of time mainly used by NASA when, for example, scheduling the use of a Mars rover .
The actual landing site was 0.900778° (19.8 km) east of that, corresponding to 3 minutes and 36 seconds later in local solar time. The date is kept using a mission clock sol count with the landing occurring on Sol 0, corresponding to MSD 47776 (mission time zone); the landing occurred around 16:35 LMST, which is MSD 47777 01:02 AMT.
It is the first production car launched into space. The car, mounted on the rocket's second stage, was launched on an escape trajectory and entered an elliptical heliocentric orbit crossing the orbit of Mars. [6] The orbit reaches a maximum distance from the Sun at aphelion of 1.66 astronomical units (au). [4]

In October 2021, actor William Shatner explored the final frontier as the oldest person to ever cross the Karman line — the commonly accepted divide between the Earth’s atmosphere and outer space.
A vehicle with massive storage space, called a climber, would then scale the cable, bringing up and attaching more ribbon to the first layer in order to make it thicker and stronger.
