Congratulations #BlueOrigin and #NASA #ESCAPADE! Critically important to understanding our own climate, ESCAPADE will study how Mars went from a warm wet dense atmosphere like Earth's to a barren, cold, thin atmosphere. And Blue Origin had a second successful flight of New Glenn!
LAUNCH! Blue Origin New Glenn launches on its second flight, carrying NASA's ESCAPADE mission from LC-36.

Pam Melroy, a retired Air Force colonel and astronaut, is one of only two women ever to command a space shuttle. She left NASA in 2009 after three missions and more than 900 hours in orbit, later taking on leadership roles in aerospace and government. @astropam.bsky.social
