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.
