Earth link simulator
Simulated Earth–Mars messaging with configurable signal delay. It does not represent a real spacecraft connection; replies are automatic placeholders.

Simulation only — no real spacecraft connection. The 3–22 min range comes from the team brief. Time runs 10× faster than real time, so a 24 min round trip takes about 2 min 24 s of real time. Each message occupies the transmitter for 30 s; the simulated ground replies 2 min after receipt.
