NASA delays launch of newest space telescope to search for life’s key ingredients
NASA is delaying the launch of the SPHEREx telescope to uncover the ingredients for life in our galaxy, as well as the PUNCH mission to study the sun’s mysteries.
NASA launch of SPHEREx and PUNCH space missions delayed
If you're keen, you'll be able to watch the launch happen live on NASA+, on the agency's YouTube channel, or right here on Space.com. Now, let's dive into what exactly SPHEREx and PUNCH will do once they get to the final frontier.
NASA, SpaceX to launch SPHEREx observatory and PUNCH...
Designed as a medium-class mission within NASA’s Explorers program, SPHEREx was selected by NASA for funding and development in February 2019. The mission is managed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California, with James Bock of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) serving as principal investigator.
SpaceX Scrubs Launch of 2 NASA Satellite Missions
The spacecraft, SPHEREx and PUNCH, had been expected to launch on a SpaceX rocket on Saturday. Two NASA missions will have to wait longer for a launch aboard a single rocket. Both aim to unravel mysteries about the universe — one by peering far from Earth, the other by looking closer to home.
