NASA's ESCAPADE probes swing back past Earth en route to Mars

Original: W drodze na Marsa dwie sondy NASA z misji ESCAPADE mają jeszcze jedno spotkanie z Ziemią. Niemal rok po starcie wrócą w

Two NASA probes from the ESCAPADE mission, launched almost a year ago, are returning toward Earth for a final gravity assist before continuing to Mars. One spacecraft will pass the planet on 7 November and the other on 9 November, using Earth's gravity to pick up speed and adjust their trajectory for the rest of the journey.

Why now: Space enthusiasts are following the rare double Earth flyby as the probes prepare to leave for Mars.
