Mission
EscaPADE
- Type: Planetary Science
- Orbit: Mars Orbit
Second flight of Blue Origin's New Glenn launch vehicle carrying the Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers (EscaPADE), a dual-spacecraft mission from University of California, Berkeley to study ion and sputtered escape from Mars. The spacecrafts' scientific goals are to understand the processes controlling the structure of Mars' hybrid magnetosphere and how it guides ion flows; understand how energy and momentum are transported from the solar wind through Mars' magnetosphere; and understand the processes controlling the flow of energy and matter into and out of the collisional atmosphere.
Location
Launch Complex 36A
Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
Find the best place to watch the launch from Florida
Launch Complex 36A has witnessed the launch of 70 rockets, including 70 orbital launch attempts. While Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA, has been the site for 1076 rocket launches.
Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS) is an installation of the United States Space Force's Space Launch Delta 45, located on Cape Canaveral in Brevard County, Florida.
Rocket
Blue Origin New Glenn
The New Glenn is a privately funded orbital launch vehicle in development by Blue Origin. New Glenn is described as a 7-meter-diameter (23 ft), two- or three-stage rocket.
Landing
Core GS1-SN002
New Glenn booster GS1-SN002 has landed on Jacklyn after its first flight. Booster GS1-SN002 last launched 11/13/2025
and has seen 1 successful launches and landings. Second New Glenn first stage booster. Named "Never Tell Me The Odds". Used for the second New Glenn launch with EscaPADE, becoming the first New Glenn Stage 1 booster (GS1) to be recovered.
Currently it's slated for re-use on New Glenn's third launch with the Blue Moon Pathfinder.
Jacklyn - LPV1
Jacklyn is Blue Origins first floating landing platform for New Glenn.
Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship - ASDS
An autonomous spaceport drone ship (ASDS) is an ocean-going vessel derived from a deck barge, outfitted with station-keeping engines and a large landing platform. Construction of such ships was commissioned by aerospace company SpaceX to allow for recovery of rocket first-stages at sea for high-velocity missions which do not carry enough fuel to return to the launch site after lofting spacecraft onto an orbital trajectory.
Agency
Blue Origin
Blue Origin is an American privately funded aerospace manufacturer and spaceflight services company set up by Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos with its headquarters in Kent, Washington. The company is developing technologies to enable private human access to space with the goal to dramatically lower costs and increase reliability. Blue Origin currently launches its New Shepard sub-orbital vehicle from its West Texas launch site, they are currently constructing a launch pad for their orbital vehicle New Glenn at Cape Canaveral LC-36.

GOD SPEED JOHN GLENN.!
who is excited??!!
Hi, from Carolyn from Port Charlotte on the SW side of Florida. I’ve watched many of the Cape Canaveral launches from my back yard over the last 8 years. Clear blue skies here, too.
Hoping to catch the launch from Pt. Charlotte on the SW Florida side. I’ve seen several over the past 10 years
is it going to Mars?
Yes
