The Final Countdown | NASA's ESCAPADE Mars Mission | Rocket Lab
🚀Rocket Lab's twin spacecraft for NASA and UC Berkeley's ESCAPADE mission are ready for launch! The ESCAPADE spacecraft are expected to begin their journey to Mars no earlier than November 9, 2025 from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Stay tuned, the launch is coming!

The NASA 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 in Fall 2025 on Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket. It will take ESCAPADE about 11 months to arrive at Mars after leaving Earth orbit.
ESCAPADE is led by the UC Berkeley Space Sciences Laboratory, which is responsible for mission management, systems engineering, science leadership, navigation, operations, the electron & ion electrostatic analyzers, and science data processing and archiving.
Key partners are Rocket Lab USA (spacecraft), NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (magnetometers), Embry Riddle Aeronautical University (Langmuir probes), Advanced Space LLC (mission design), and Blue Origin (launch).
