NASA launching 2 missions on 1 rocket
NASA is launching two missions on one rocket. The goal is for PUNCH is to gather information on the solar system's "space weather". Meanwhile, SPHEREx will gather information from stars far away.
NASA launches EZIE mission to explore electrojets and predict space weather
NASA’s EZIE mission will study electrojets to improve space weather forecasts, using CubeSats and the Zeeman effect to map these currents and their impact on Earth.
2 NASA missions will carpool on a SpaceX rocket this weekend to help map the cosmos
Sunday (March 2) is shaping up to be a delightful day for space explorers, as not one but two major NASA missions are expected to take to the skies — and interestingly, though the spacecraft associated with these missions are pretty different from one another, you might say they all have the same profession: cosmic cartography.
