Soon, our twin Explorer spacecraft built for NASA & ucbssl ESCAPADE mission will begin their journey to the Red Planet to study the history of its climate.
The mission will study how the solar wind interacts with Mars’ magnetic environment and how this interaction drives the planet’s atmospheric escape, revealing how Mars changed from warm and wet to the cold, dry world we see today.
By flying two spacecraft in different orbits around Mars, ESCAPADE will get a dual viewpoint to solve the mystery of Mars' atmospheric escape. It’s a low-cost mission delivering high-impact science.
