#AskRosetta – How long does it take for Rosetta to transmit a signal to Earth?
- 9 years ago
New animation series answering your questions about ESA's Rosetta mission. In this first video we answer the question: how long does it take for Rosetta to transmit a signal to Earth?
The time needed for Rosetta to transmit a signal to Earth changes every day, depending on the relative position of Rosetta and Earth.
The longest time was 52m 6s on 1 December 2012. During Earth flybys, the communication was almost instant!
