Blue Origin's powerful New Glenn rocket will launch a NASA mission to Mars this weekend, and you can watch the action live.

The twin ESCAPADE Mars probes are scheduled to lift off atop the partially reusable New Glenn from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Sunday (Nov. 9), during a 2.5-hour window that opens at 2:45 p.m. EDT (1945 GMT).

You can watch the launch — the second-ever for New Glenn — live via Blue Origin, which was founded by Amazon's Jeff Bezos. Space.com will carry the feed as well, if the company makes it available.

ESCAPADE (short for "Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers") will be the first Mars mission to launch in more than five years, since NASA's Perseverance rover and Ingenuity helicopter lifted off together on July 30, 2020.
