In terms of Mars orbiters, NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter celebrated nearly two decades of service and, just this past month, demonstrated a dramatic new maneuver: large rolls that allow its scientific instruments to peer deeper beneath the Martian surface. As detailed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, this technique enhances the probe’s hunt for both liquid and frozen water. By essentially flipping nearly upside down as it orbits, the orbiter can scan previously inaccessible regions of the Martian subsurface—a significant advancement for Martian hydrology research.
Looking ahead, NASA’s Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers, or EscaPADE mission, which had previously encountered delays due to issues with Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket, is being given another opportunity. EscaPADE involves launching a pair of probes built by Rocket Lab to study how Mars' magnetosphere and atmosphere interact with the solar wind. Initially supposed to launch last year, the probes now have a plan to depart for Mars using more complex orbital trajectories, with anticipated arrival at the Red Planet in 2027. According to SatNews, this new course has the added scientific advantage of allowing unique space weather observations near the Sun-Earth L2 point—a part of the solar system not studied since the 1990s.
While no new robotic missions have launched for Mars in this year’s window, several high-profile projects are actively in development worldwide. However, the Mars Society has highlighted budget concerns, as major proposed cuts to NASA may threaten future American Mars missions and ongoing operations of robots like Curiosity.
