The artificial planet will be much nearer to Mars than the earth because of its velocity at the launching, which was well over the second cosmic velocity.
On January 14, the planet will reach its perihelion (the nearest point to the sun). It will then be about 90,710,000 miles from the sun and will travel with its maximum speed of 19.8 miles per second.
On its way towards its aphelion (the farthest point from the sun) the planet's speed will decrease to about 17 miles per second, the Agency said.-UPI and Reuter.
