Space missions confront unique timekeeping challenges, as travelers orbit Earth at high speeds and may move between gravitational fields. Crew members typically synchronize with mission control via UTC, but the sensation of day and night cycles can shift dramatically. Mars rovers operate on “sols,” slightly longer than Earth days. Communication delays further complicate real-time coordination. These experiences force scientists and engineers to redefine concepts of clocks, calendars, and circadian rhythms when venturing beyond our home planet. Time, in space, is anything but straightforward.
