The NG-2 mission will send NASA's ESCAPADE twin spacecraft on their journey to Mars.

PlanCapabilityGeneralValue 3.8Nov 5, 2025RT by @GewoonLukas_: 🚀 Launch Alert | We're targeting New Glenn's second launch no earlier than Sunday, November 9, from LC-36. NG-2 will send @NASA's ESCAPADE twin spacecraft on their journey to Mars and carry a @Viasat technology demonstration for @NASASpaceOps' Communications Services Project.

NG-2's primary goal is to get ESCAPADE safely to orbit and land the booster.

PlanCapabilityValue 3.0Nov 5, 2025RT by @GewoonLukas_: NG-1's goal was clear: reach orbit, everything after that was a bonus. NG-2 builds on that with our primary goal to get Escapade safely to orbit and land the booster. What if we don't stick the landing? That's ok. We've got several more New Glenn boosters already in production. In this mission, we will be delivering @NASA's ESCAPADE to orbit and supporting @Viasat's technology demonstration. Onwards to launch!

Blue Origin is targeting November 7th, 2023, at 19:51 UTC for the launch of the NG-2 mission with NASA's EscaPADE probes.

PlanCapabilityGeneralValue 4.0Nov 3, 2025According to the FAA's Current Operations Plan Advisory, Blue Origin is officially targeting NET November 7th at 19:51 UTC for the launch of the NG-2 mission with NASA's EscaPADE probes! 📎 https://www.fly.faa.gov/adv/adv_spt

The EscaPADE probes will be sent to Launch Complex 36 for mating to the New Glenn rocket.

RelationshipsPlanValue 4.0Oct 31, 2025NASA's 2 EscaPADE probes, "Blue" & "Gold", have been encapsulated inside of New Glenn's payload fairing! Soon it'll head to LC-36 for mating to the rocket. Together with their ESPA-ring, the 2 probes only take up about 1.5% of the available volume in New Glenn's massive fairing.

The two spacecraft for NASA and UC Berkeley's ESCAPADE mission have been successfully encapsulated into the rocket fairing.

NASA's ESCAPADE payload will be mated to the New Glenn launch vehicle prior to launch preparations.

PlanCapabilityValue 4.0Oct 31, 2025RT by @GewoonLukas_: Love seeing New Glenn's seven BE-4 engines come alive! Congratulations to Team Blue on today's hotfire. We extended the hotfire duration this time to simulate the landing burn sequence by shutting down the non-gimballed engines after ramping down to 50 percent thrust, then shutting down the outboard gimballed engines while ramping the center engine to 80 percent thrust. This helps us understand fluid interactions between active and inactive engine feedlines during landing. Next, we will mate @NASA's ESCAPADE payload to the launch vehicle and enter final preparations for launch.

The New Glenn rocket will return to the hangar for payload fairing mating with NASA's EscaPADE probes.

PlanCapabilityValue 3.8Oct 31, 2025Last night Blue Origin successfully completed a static fire of their second New Glenn rocket! The rocket will return to the hangar where the payload fairing with NASA's EscaPADE probes will be mated. The rocket will then roll out again for a launch in Mid-November.
