A Business Calendar for Mars is published in the NewMars.com/formus web site.
The calender has been following Mars for over two full Martian years.
We are now in Mars Year 37 (as defined by human robotic arrival).
The Mars Business calendar has 24 months of 28 days, with one day removed each quarter.
The regular nature of the Mars Business calendar makes it a pleasure to work with.
The Astronomical Calendar and the Mars Business Calendar are brought into nanosecond accurate alignment on the last day of the year, when the day is extended in the Mars Business calendar so the first nanosecond of the New Year exactly matches the corresponding moment in the Astronomical Calendar.
