The mission is funded by NASA\u2019s Heliophysics Division and is part of the NASA Small Innovative Missions for Planetary Exploration program. The ESCAPADE mission is led by the University of California, Berkeley\u2019s Space Sciences Laboratory, and the spacecraft is designed by Rocket Lab. The agency\u2019s Launch Services Program, based at NASA Kennedy, secured the launch service under the VADR (Venture-class Acquisition of Dedicated and Rideshare) contract.<\/p>\n<p>NASA will post updates on launch preparations for the twin Martian orbiters on the ESCAPADE blog.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about ESCAPADE, visit:<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Para obtener informaci\u00f3n sobre cobertura en espa\u00f1ol en el Centro Espacial Kennedy o si desea solicitar entrevistas en espa\u00f1ol, comun\u00edquese con Antonia Jaramillo at: <\/em><em>antonia.jaramillobotero@nasa.gov<\/em><em>, 321-501-8425,<\/em><em> o <\/em><em>Messod Bendayan<\/em><em>, 256-930-1371<\/em><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">-end-<\/p>\n<p>Karen Fox<br \/>Headquarters, Washington<br \/>202-358-1600<br \/>karen.fox@nasa.gov<\/p>\n<p>Laura Aguiar \/ Leejay Lockhart<br \/>Kennedy Space Center, Florida<br \/>321-867-2468<br \/>laura.aguiar@nasa.gov \/ leejay.lockhart@nasa.gov<\/p>\n<p>Sarah Frazier<br \/>Goddard Space Flight Center<br \/>202-853-7191<br \/>sarah.frazier@nasa.gov<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/news-release\/nasa-blue-origin-invite-media-to-new-glenn-launch-of-mars-mission\/?rand=772114\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NASA and Blue Origin are preparing for the agency\u2019s ESCAPADE (Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers) mission, which begins on the inaugural launch of the company\u2019s New Glenn rocket.&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":787879,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-787878","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-NASA"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/787878","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=787878"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/787878\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/787879"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=787878"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=787878"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=787878"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
