Watch live coverage as Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin launches its second New Glenn rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, carrying a pair of Mars-bound satellites for NASA's Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers (ESCAPADE) mission and InRange, a communications demonstration payload for Viasat that fulfills a contract with NASA under its Communications Services Project. Liftoff of the liquid methane and liquid hydrogen fueled rocket is scheduled during a launch window that opens at a 2:57 p.m. EST (1957 UTC).

After separation from the second stage, New Glenn's first stage booster, named 'Never Tell Me the Odds', will attempt to land on Blue Origin's landing platform 'Jacklyn' in the Atlantic Ocean about nine minutes after launch.

Our live coverage of the NG-2 mission with commentary from Will Robinson-Smith will begin about three hours prior to launch. Stephen Clarke, space reporter at Ars Technica, will also join the broadcast.
