In April, the Sun will stop distribution the commands to Mars mission

The planets in the next month will worsen due to the Mars mission. Mars will be almost exactly behind the Sun when viewed from Earth. The sun can easily interrupt the broadcast between two planets when the three celestial bodies line up in one line. To prevent incorrect signaling, dispatchers from NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory intend to suspend sending any commands to all the Martian rovers and orbiters in April. Transmission from Mars to Earth, too, will be kept to a minimum.
