The Mars time of noon is 12:00 which is in Earth time 12 hours and 20 minutes after midnight. For the Mars Pathfinder, Mars Exploration Rover (MER), Phoenix, and Mars Science Laboratory missions, the operations teams have worked on "Mars time", with a work schedule synchronized to the local time at the landing site on Mars, rather than the ...

Rotation and Interior Structure Experiment (RISE) is a radio science experiment onboard InSight Mars lander that will use the spacecraft communication system to provide precise measurements of Mars' rotation and wobble. RISE precisely tracks the location of the lander to measure how much Mars's axis wobbles as it orbits the Sun.
Mars spins a little more quickly each year, according to data collected by NASA’s now-retired InSight lander.
It was eventually picked up and used by the press. [8] Other neologisms include tosol (for today on Mars), as well as one of three Mars versions of tomorrow: nextersol, morrowsol, or solmorrow. [9] NASA planners coined the term soliday at least as far back as 2012 to refer to days off due to time phasing or the syncing of planetary schedules. [10]
A simulation of a 4-satellite constellation in areostationary orbit . An areostationary orbit, areosynchronous equatorial orbit (AEO), or Mars geostationary orbit is a circular areosynchronous orbit (ASO) approximately 17,032 km (10,583 mi) in altitude above the Mars equator and following the direction of Mars's rotation.

Direct teleoperation of a Mars rover is impractical, as the round trip communication time between Earth and Mars ranges from 8 to 42 minutes and the Deep Space Network system is only available a few times during each Martian day . [1] Therefore, a rover command team plans, then sends, a sol of operational commands to the rover at one time. [1]
