Blue Origin Launches New Glenn Flight 2 - NASA ESCAPADE Mission to Mars

Blue Origin launches the second flight of its huge New Glenn rocket from LC-36 with the Escapade spacecraft. Launch window: November 9th from 2:45PM EST to 4:44PM EST (19:45-21:44 UTC) Current T0: No...

EscaPADE

Overview

Destination: Mars Orbit
Mission: Planetary Science

Mars Orbit Launch Complex 36A Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA Probability: 65%
GS1-SN002 - Jacklyn

Maiden flight of Blue Origin's New Glenn launch vehicle carrying the Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers (EscaPADE), a dual-spacecraft mission to study ion and sputtered escape from Mars. The spacecrafts' scientific goals are to understand the processes controlling the structure of Mars' hybrid magnetosphere and how it guides ion flows; understand how energy and momentum are transported from the solar wind through Mars' magnetosphere; and understand the processes controlling the flow of energy and matter into and out of the collisional atmosphere.
