How long does a Jupiter bounce take? Is that part of why they will try to receive the signals in New Mexico, because of the Earth's spin during the transmission time? I suppose the duration can vary by a huge amount depending on planetary alignments

43 minutes for a signal from earth to reach Jupiter so probably 86 mins to hear back.

I think there's a two or 3 hour difference between the time zones... Thanks!
