Short description: Orbiting radio telescope
SunRISE mission poster

The Sun Radio Interferometer Space Experiment (SunRISE), is a set of CubeSats designed to study solar activity by acting as an aperture synthesis radio telescope.[1] It is intended to monitor giant solar particle storms.[2] The satellites will occupy a supersynchronous geosynchronous Earth orbit.[3] The participants in the experiment include JPL, the University of Colorado Boulder and the University of Michigan.[1][3][4][5]

Status

The six satellites have been stored since 2023. Initially planned to launch on Vulcan Centaur,[6] NASA announced a shift to Falcon Heavy in July 2026.[7]
