missions just took the carpool lane to space 🚀
Our PUNCH and SPHEREx missions shared a ride aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, which launched from California’s Vandenberg Space Force Base on March 11 at 11:10 p.m. EST (March 12 0310 UTC).
While these missions went to space on the same rocket, their objectives are very different!
SPHEREx will survey the sky in optical and infrared light, gathering data on more than 450 million galaxies as well as 100 million stars in our own galaxy. Every six months, SPHEREx will scan our entire sky to create a map in 102 color bands.
The PUNCH mission will use four suitcase-sized satellites to observe the Sun and its environment. Located in low Earth orbit, the satellites will work together to make 3D observations, studying how the Sun’s corona turns into solar wind and its influence on space weather.
Video description: This video opens with a clip of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket soaring into the night sky over Vandenberg Space Force Base, followed by glowing plumes of smoke. The next clip shows the white, conical SPHEREx spacecraft slowly drifting off into space forward from the rocket, while Earth can be seen on the upper right corner. The final two clips show two of the PUNCH spacecraft moving away to the left and right, with Earth in the background.
