Key Takeaways:
- 1. NASA and Blue Origin are reopening media accreditation for the ESCAPADE mission to study Mars’ interaction with solar wind.
- 2. The ESCAPADE mission will provide insight into real-time response to space weather and atmospheric escape driven by solar activity.
- 3. This will be the second launch of Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket.
NASA and Blue Origin are inviting media to apply for accreditation to cover the ESCAPADE mission, which will study how Mars interacts with the solar wind. The mission aims to understand how solar activity affects atmospheric escape from Mars in real-time. This will mark the second launch of Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket. Media interested in covering the launch can apply for credentials, with a deadline of Oct. 13 for U.S. media and U.S. citizens representing international media.
Insight: The ESCAPADE mission is funded by NASA's Heliophysics Division and led by the University of California, Berkeley Space Sciences Laboratory. Rocket Lab designed the spacecraft for the mission, which is part of the NASA Small Innovative Missions for Planetary Exploration program. NASA will provide updates on the mission's preparations through the ESCAPADE blog.
