Astronomy:Sun Radio Interferometer Space Experiment
From HandWiki
Short description: Orbiting radio telescope
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] It is expected to be launched in mid-2026.[5]
Status
As of November 2023[update], the six satellites have been built and are going into storage to await their Vulcan Centaur launch vehicle.[6]
