Two NASA missions, SPHEREx and PUNCH, are ready for launch after delays, scheduled for Monday night from California. SPHEREx, a space telescope, will image the sky in 102 infrared wavelengths, seeking to learn about the universe's history. PUNCH satellites will examine the sun’s outer atmosphere and solar wind. The launch has faced multiple postponements, with SpaceX citing the need for additional checks on the Falcon 9 rocket. A live broadcast from NASA will cover the event, with a launch window extending through April if needed.
The rocket's chief passenger is SPHEREx, a space telescope that aims to take images of the entire sky in over a hundred colors that are invisible to the human eye.
Accompanying SPHEREx is a suite of satellites known as PUNCH, which will study the sun's outer atmosphere and solar wind, contributing valuable data for solar research.
NASA is streaming a live broadcast of the launch, showcasing the important mission of both SPHEREx and PUNCH for understanding the universe and solar phenomena.
