            "description": "In November 2026, each of NASA’s two **[ESCAPADE](https://science.nasa.gov/mission/escapade)** (Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers) spacecraft will perform a “powered” flyby of Earth, combining Earth’s gravity with an approximately 9-minute engine burn, to slingshot itself toward Mars.  \r\n\r\nThe first ESCAPADE spacecraft will make its closest approach and complete its engine burn around 5 a.m. EST on Nov. 7, and the second will do so two days later, around 6 a.m. EST on Nov. 9.  \r\n \r\nIn the hours before, during, and after each spacecraft’s closest approach, observers on the ground might be able to spot the spacecraft in the night sky. However, a telescope will most likely be needed to find it as a dim point moving against the stars. Each spacecraft will appear to move through the sky relatively slowly and take several hours to cross overhead. \r\n\r\nFrom the U.S., each spacecraft will be below the horizon during its closest approach to Earth. Therefore, the spacecraft will be best viewed in the western sky an hour or two before closest approach. From some viewing locations, the spacecraft will also reappear in the eastern sky an hour or two after its closest approach.\r\n\r\nThe star charts below show the path the spacecraft will take across the sky for several different locations in the U.S. The colors along the path represent the altitude of the spacecraft, which will decrease during the time shown, with red showing the lowest altitude along the path (when the spacecraft should be brightest). \r\n\r\nIf your viewing location is not represented here, you can use the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s [Horizons System](https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons/app.html#/) to get coordinates for the two spacecraft at different times for your location.\r\n\r\nLocations included below:\r\n* Berkeley, California\r\n* Boulder, Colorado\r\n* Chicago, Illinois\r\n* Greenbelt, Maryland (NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center)\r\n* Goldstone, California\r\n* Honolulu, Hawaii\r\n* New York, New York\r\n* Portland, Oregon\r\n* Seattle, Washington\r\n* Tempe, Arizona\r\n* Temple, Texas\r\n\r\nRead more about ESCAPADE's powered Earth flyby on [NASA's ESCAPADE blog](https://science.nasa.gov/blogs/escapade/2026/11/02/nasas-twin-escapade-spacecraft-to-slingshot-past-earth-on-way-to-mars/).",

The induced magnetic field, generated by the storm's plasma interacting with the Martian ionosphere, was significantly stronger than usual and exceeded Mars' crustal magnetic field present in many localized regions of the planet.This data visualization shows time passing at 30 data simulation minutes per animation second.The solar storm can be seen contacting the Martian magnetosphere at 0:17 in the movie. The green current density shows where magnetic current is strong. Lines tracing out the magnetic field are purple in regions of weaker magnetism, and orange-yellow where the magnetic field is strongest.Cyan lines indicate the expected path of the ESCAPADE spacecraft during the first part of its mission, when the two spacecraft fly in tandem with one closely following the other.An alternate version of the data visualization with a sun-pointing arrow is available in the Download menu.",

Its work could help protect future human explorers from potentially dangerous space weather when they set foot on the Red Planet.For the first time, the mission will use two identical spacecraft to investigate how the solar wind interacts with Mars’ magnetic environment and how this interaction drives the planet’s atmospheric escape. Its observations will reveal the planet’s real-time response to space weather and how the Martian magnetosphere changes over time.The ESCAPADE orbiters build on earlier Mars missions, such as NASA’s MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution) orbiter. The MAVEN mission has one spacecraft that has been studying Mars’ atmospheric loss since arriving at the Red Planet in 2014.ESCAPADE is scheduled to launch no earlier than fall 2025 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station Launch Complex 36 in Florida.Find out more about the ESCAPADE mission: https://science.nasa.gov/mission/escapade/ || ",
