Highlights
  • NASA aims for stereo, near-real-time insight into Mars' magnetic environment by sending two orbiters on a long interplanetary journey, building on public-private collaboration and cross-source context.
  • Blue Origin achieved a reusable-launch milestone by returning the New Glenn booster upright on a floating pad, signaling progress that strengthens ESCAPADE's cost-effective, repeatable mission profile.
  • The Escapade satellites will take 22 months to reach Mars and will orbit the planet to measure its atmosphere and magnetic field.
