Probe to be launched this weekend
Wed Oct 29, 2025 10:11 pm
The Imaginary Space Agency (ISA) has confirmed all is on track and looking good for the 'Explorer IV' probe which is planned to launch this weekend.
If all goes well, the Explorer will be lifted through the atmosphere and enter geostationary orbit on Sunday evening. After a brief systems check, the probe's engines will burn for an additional 45 minutes setting it on its long journey to Marrrrrs. Assuming the burn completes successfully, the probe will then be put into hibernation for 3 weeks as it traverses the 50 million miles between the planets, before waking and firing its engines a final time to enter an elliptical orbit around Marrrrrs at the beginning of December.
We'll be providing regular updates on the mission as they occur.
