The lowest energy transfer to Mars is a Hohmann transfer orbit, a conjunction class mission which would involve a roughly 9-month travel time from Earth to Mars, about 500 days (16 mo) [citation needed] at Mars to wait for the transfer window to Earth, and a travel time of about 9 months to return to Earth. [9] [10] This would be a 34-month trip.
Journey to Mars – Science, Exploration, Technology. On October 8, 2015, NASA published its official plan for human exploration and colonization of Mars. They called it "Journey to Mars". The plan operates through three distinct phases leading to fully sustained colonization. [150] The first stage, already underway, is the "Earth Reliant" phase.

What makes this January moment special is that it means Mars will get the sun’s full glare, which will illuminate its appearance when people see the planet from Earth.
On 13 December 2011, the rover began monitoring space radiation to aid in planning for future crewed missions to Mars. [32] The interplanetary journey to Mars took more than eight months, [33] time during which, the spacecraft performed four trajectory corrections: on 11 January, 26 March, 26 June and on 28 July. Mission design had allowed for ...
