View from the webcam at ESA’s deep space ground station in New Norcia, Western Australia, as the antenna communicates with ESA's Mars Express spacecraft on 10 November 2023.
The 2023 Mars solar conjunction season for Mars Express lasts from 5 November to 2 December. During this season, Mars and Earth are located on opposite sides of the Sun and the solar corona interferes with radio communications between the two planets.
This GIF is 3.4 MB. It would take over three hours to download it from Mars Express at the peak of a typical Mars solar conjunction, when data rates are severely limited to 300 bits per second.
