Ready for NASA's Next Mars Science Mission ESCAPADE? 🚀
NASA’s twin spacecraft have arrived at Kennedy Space Flight Center in Florida ahead of launch this fall! They will orbit Mars to study how the planet’s magnetic field protects it from space weather and drives atmospheric escape.
The Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers (ESCAPADE) Mars Mission will study the planet's unique hybrid magnetosphere. ESCAPADE will investigate how the solar wind interacts with Mars’ magnetic environment and how this interaction drives the planet’s atmospheric escape. ESCAPADE is set to launch no earlier than late 2024 on Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket. It will take ESCAPADE about 11 months to arrive at Mars after leaving Earth orbit.
Learn more about the two identical spacecraft designed, built, integrated, and tested by Rocket Lab for the University of California Berkeley’s Space Science Laboratory and NASA's Mars Mission.
