A Blue Origin New Glenn rocket will launch on its second flight, designated NG-2, to carry NASA's EscaPADE mission into space, which is a twin-spacecraft Mars orbiter mission to study the structure, composition, variability and dynamics of Mars’ magnetosphere and atmospheric escape processes. Originally EscaPADE was scheduled to launch on a rideshare with Psyche and Janus on Falcon Heavy but was removed from this launch in September 2020. New Glenn will place EscaPADE into an orbit around the L2 Lagrange point of the Sun-Earth system. The probes will spend a year there observing space weather. After that, they will perform a gravitational maneuver near Earth and head for Mars. New Glenn will also carry the Blue Ring demonstrators DarkSky 1–2 plus UFO-Odyssey. It will also deploy CubeSats for NASA's Educational Launch of Nanosatellites (ELaNa 42) program: DARLA, OrCa2 and TechEdSat 16. A technology demonstration from satellite communications company Viasat will be flown as well in support of NASA's Communications Services Project, which partners with the commercial sector to advance developments concerning in-space networking for near-Earth satellites. New Glenn is equipped with seven BE-4 LNG/LOX engines on the reusable GS1 first stage and two BE-3U hydroLOX engines on the GS2 second stage. The first stage booster is designated GS1-SN002 and named "Never Tell Me The Odds" for this flight. It will attempt a sea-based landing on the Jacklyn LPV1 ship. - The EscaPADE (Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers) Mars orbiter mission led by the Berkeley University of California consists of two ~90kg probes (named Blue and Gold) which are equipped with solar electrical propulsion. Its mission is to understand the processes controlling the structure of Mars’ hybrid magnetosphere and how it guides ion flows, how energy and momentum is transported from the solar wind through Mars’ magnetosphere and to understand the processes controlling the flow of energy and matter into and out of the collisional atmosphere. EscaPADE will measure magnetic field strength and topology, ion plasma distributions (separated into light and heavy masses), as well as suprathermal electron flows and thermal electron and ion densities from elliptical, 200 km × ~7000 km orbits for at least one year. - UFO-Odyssey is a demonstration mission for the National Security Space Launch (NSSL) program run by the United States Space Force. It will demonstrate rapid response to requirements for on-orbit testing and verification of optical and computational experiments. The experiments include imaging of other spacecraft during and immediately after deployment, data communications, and computer networking & edge processing - Delayed from August 2022, 2023, August, Sep. 18, 29, Oct. 13 2024, June, August, Sep. 29 and late October.
