Where'd you get that?
> The mass- and power-constrained rover can achieve high data rates of up to 2 megabits per second on the relatively short-distance relay link to the orbiters overhead. The orbiters then use their much larger antennas and transmitters to relay that data on the long-distance link back to Earth.
> Transmission Rates Up to 2 megabits per second on the rover-to-orbiter relay link.
And using DSN Now, we can also see that the speed from Earth to those orbiters is also 2Mbps.
- shakna 6y agoThe Rover-to-Orbiter is 2Mbps, whereas the X-Band High-Gain Antenna link is 3Kbps: > 160/500 bits per second or faster to/from the Deep Space Network's 112-foot-diameter (34-meter-diameter) antennas or at 800/3000 bits per second or faster to/from the Deep Space Network's 230-foot-diameter (70 meter-diameter)
