Blue Origin's New Glenn Rocket Launches NASA's Mars Mission
- On Sunday, Nov. 9, Blue Origin will launch New Glenn from Launch Complex 36 with a window opening at 2:45 p.m. ET, carrying NASA's ESCAPADE twin probes Blue and Gold.
- ESCAPADE will study Mars' magnetosphere, atmosphere and space weather using twin Rocket Lab-built satellites operated by University of California, Berkeley for NASA, dwelling 12 months at Earth–sun Lagrange Point 2 .
- New Glenn stands 322 feet tall, uses seven BE-4 engines and two BE-3U engines, can haul about 50 tons to low Earth orbit, and its first stage is designed for at least 25 flights.
- If the launch succeeds, ESCAPADE will produce the first stereo 3D mapping of Mars' magnetic fields and upper atmosphere, flying twin satellites toward arrival at Mars in 2027.
- ESCAPADE's flexible trajectory could change mission timing to Mars by enabling spacecraft to stage at Earth–sun Lagrange Point 2 , while the flight tests Blue Origin's New Glenn from Launch Complex 36 after a $1 billion rebuild.
