Abstract: The article "MARS CONNECTION" explores the challenges of establishing communication between Earth and Mars for future human missions. The vast distance between the two planets, ranging from 55 million to 400 million kilometers, poses significant delays in signal transmission. Researchers are considering various solutions, including the possibility of creating a Mars-specific internet using a fleet of satellites orbiting the Red Planet. Laser communication technology is also being tested to enhance data transfer rates in deep space. Lessons from lunar missions are being applied to develop communication infrastructure for Mars, with the aim of supporting future human exploration. [Extracted from the article]
