The eight-year, 3.2-billion-mile mission is scheduled for liftoff from Florida’s east-central coast on Wednesday, September 26 at 7:25 a.m. EDT. The morning’s available launch period will extend to 7:54 a.m.
The probe will be dispatched on a trajectory to encounter Mars where it will use the Red Planet’s gravity in a sling-shot maneuver for the trek into the asteroid belt for reconnaissance of the massive asteroid Vesta in 2011 and “dwarf planet” Ceres in 2015.
