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.
VIASAT-3 F2 was lifted into orbit during the mission ‘New Glenn | EscaPADE’, on board a New Glenn space rocket.
The launch took place on Nov. 13, 2025, 8:55 p.m. from Launch Complex 36A.
