Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere , however can anyone identify what this relates to ?I'm sure I have seen a similar launch profile in the past , but can't recall what it was.Nothing obvious in the launch calendars.Missile test ?Image below.Thanks

Jeff Foust @jeff_foustIn a talk at #AGU24, Rob Lillis says the ESCAPADE mission is now exploring launch opportunities in 2025 and 2026 for the twin smallsats, which were to launch in October on the first New Glenn. Those opportunities would set up arrival at Mars in 2027.
On Nov. 14, Blue Origin announced a multi-launch agreement with AST SpaceMobile to launch the company’s Block 2 BlueBird space-based cellular broadband satellites to low-Earth orbit (LEO). AST SpaceMobile stated that New Glenn’s seven-meter diameter payload fairing enables up to eight satellites to be launched at a time. The launches are currently planned to take place during 2025 and 2026.
