"NASA's Abrupt Halt: The Sudden Suspension of Mars Missions"

TL;DR Summary
NASA has suspended all Mars missions from November 11 to November 25 due to solar conjunction, where the Sun lies directly between Earth and Mars, causing potential disruption to radio commands. While communication will be limited, the Martian rovers, satellites, and helicopter will continue their pre-planned scientific objectives and send health checks during this period. The distance between Earth and Mars during solar conjunction increases to about 235 million miles, making communication challenging. However, NASA's robotic missions will resume normal operations after the two-week hiatus.
