En route
NASA
ESCAPADE Gold (SIMPLEx-4B) is one of the two twin spacecraft of NASA's ESCAPADE mission designed to jointly investigate Mars' three-dimensional magnetosphere and the loss of its atmosphere to the solar wind. Launched on November 13, 2025, via a New Glenn rocket, it is currently in interplanetary transit with an expected arrival at Mars in September 2027.
En route
NASA
The ESCAPADE Blue mission (SIMPLEx-4A), developed by NASA and UC Berkeley alongside industrial partners, is part of a pair of twin spacecraft designed to study Mars' hybrid magnetosphere in stereo for the first time. Launched in November 2025, it is currently in its cruise phase toward the red planet to quantify atmospheric loss processes.
NASA
NASA's Europa Clipper mission, launched in October 2024 aboard a Falcon Heavy rocket, is currently in its interplanetary cruise phase heading toward the Jupiter system. After successfully completing a gravity assist and calibration flyby of Mars in February 2025, the spacecraft is headed toward an upcoming Earth gravity assist maneuver. Its primary goal upon arriving at Jupiter will be to assess the habitability of the moon Europa through multiple scientific flybys.
Planned
NASA
The Aeolus orbital mission (2028), structured through a public-private partnership between NASA and Relativity Space under a Space Act Agreement, will deploy the innovative DWTS radiometer to continuously map Mars' winds and three-dimensional thermal profiles. Utilizing the Terran R heavy launcher and an onboard AI data center, this meteorological mission will mitigate atmospheric density risks for future crewed landing systems following the loss of the MAVEN probe.
Planned
ESA
The ExoMars Rosalind Franklin mission is an ESA-led initiative, with NASA participation, whose main objective is to search for signs of past or present life on Mars. The rover features a drilling system capable of reaching a depth of 2 meters to extract samples protected from ionizing radiation. Its launch is scheduled for October 2028 aboard a Falcon Heavy rocket, with a planned landing in Oxia Planum.
