NASA’s ESCAPADE mission launches aboard Blue Origin’s New Glenn from Cape Canaveral. NASA’s ESCAPADE mission will send two identical orbiters to Mars to study how solar wind and space weather strip away the planet’s atmosphere. Launching in 2025 and arriving in 2027, the twin spacecraft will measure solar wind conditions and Mars’s atmospheric response simultaneously, helping scientists understand how the Red Planet lost its thick atmosphere and how solar storms continue to shape its environment today.
