ESCAPADE Is GO! NASA’s New Mars Satellites — A Whole New Era Begins!

Over billions of years, a relentless flow of particles from the Sun - the solar wind - has slowly stripped away the Martian atmosphere, causing surface water to evaporate. But how exactly did this happen? NASA's new ESCAPADE mission aims to find out. The Escape and Plasma Acceleration Dynamics Explorers (ESCAPADE) mission will be studying Mars' real-time response to the solar wind, helping us better understand Mars' climate history.
