Blue Origin New Glenn rocket: New launch window for historic Mars mission after solar storm delay

The launch of NASA's twin Mars ESCAPADE probes aboard Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket has been rescheduled to November 13 following a delay caused by a severe solar storm. This incident highlights the challenges posed by solar activity on space missions, as noted in related reports. The storm's intensity was significant enough to warrant caution, leading to the postponement of what would have been Blue Origin's second-ever launch. The successful launch of the ESCAPADE probes is crucial for advancing our understanding of Mars, and the company’s ability to land the booster at sea adds to its growing capabilities in space exploration.
