CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — After a year of delay, NASA's next Mars mission is ready to launch on Blue Origin's powerful New Glenn rocket, and you'll be able to watch it all live online.
The twin ESCAPADE Mars probes are scheduled to lift off atop the partially reusable New Glenn from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station today (Nov. 13), during a nearly 90-minute window that opens at 2:57 p.m. EST (1957 GMT). It will be the third attempt for this mission; the first try, on Sunday (Nov. 9), was scrubbed due to weather, and the second was called off due to an intense solar storm.
You can watch the launch — the second-ever for New Glenn — live via Blue Origin, which was founded by Amazon's Jeff Bezos, starting about 30 minutes before liftoff. Space.com will carry the feed as well on our YouTube channel, which is embedded at the top of this page.
