Blue Origin New Glenn to launch NASA ESCAPADE mission<\/h2>\n

Selected through NASA\u2019s Venture-Class Acquisition of Dedicated and Rideshare (VADR) launch services contract, which offers newer launchers options to launch NASA payloads on early flights, New Glenn will get its first NASA launch task order. Going by the name ESCAPADE, which stands for Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers, will study Mars\u2019 magnetosphere.<\/p>\n

The magnetosphere is the magnet field that surrounds a planet and is produced from with the planet\u2019s core. Here on Earth, we have a strong magnetosphere, and how it works is well understood (the sturring of multon metal in the outer core). The reason why Earth has such a nice atmosphere for life to survive is thanks to this, which reflects most of the solar winds. <\/p>\n

However Mars\u2019 magnetosphere is not as strong, organized, or understood. It is believed that Mars once did have a strong magnetic field like Earth, but it deteriorated, which makes us believe that is why the Red Planet lacks any substantial atmosphere. ESCAPADE will help learn more about Mars\u2019 lacking magnetosphere, building a bigger picture of what happened to it or even how much currently exists today.<\/p>\n
