Second ESCAPADE spacecraft completes key trajectory fix on path to Mars
Washington DC (SPX) Jan 07, 2026
NASA's twin ESCAPADE spacecraft are back on a fully synchronized path to Mars after mission controllers successfully carried out a critical trajectory correction maneuver for the second probe on Jan. 6. The burn followed a brief pause in December 2025, when engineers delayed the attempt to investigate low thrust seen during earlier correction efforts on one of the two small satellites. The
