Engineers in cleanroom suits work with twin ESCAPADE spacecraft, Blue and Gold, developed by UC Berkeley and Rocket Lab, preparing them for launch as part of NASA’s mission to map Mars’ magnetic field and upper atmosphere in 3D.
A Blue Origin New Glenn rocket stands on the launchpad at sunrise in Cape Canaveral, Florida, ready to carry the twin UC Berkeley ESCAPADE satellites to Mars for NASA’s first dual-satellite mission to another planet.
🚀 NASA’s ESCAPADE mission — led by UC Berkeley — launches in early November.
Twin “Blue and Gold” satellites will map Mars’ magnetic fields and atmosphere in 3D to aid future human exploration.
