The SPHEREx telescope will create the most colorful map of the cosmos, while the four satellites of the PUNCH mission track the evolution of the solar wind in three dimensions.

NASA is now targeting an evening launch window for PUNCH and SPHEREx that opens at 10:09 P.M. EST on Tuesday, March 4. On March 2, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is scheduled to launch the Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH) mission into low Earth orbit.

SpaceX and NASA successfully launched the agency’s newest space telescope and solar research mission Tuesday evening. A Falcon 9 lifted off from California with the SPHEREx near-infrared observatory,

As the agency's SPHEREx space telescope and PUNCH solar mission rode toward their orbital stations tonight (March 11) at 11:10 p.m. EST (0310 March 12 GMT), members of mission control appeared elated, onlookers who caught a peek at the liftoff cheered, and the scientists who built these missions exuded a blend of relief and excitement.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) launched the SPHEREx and the PUNCH space missions late on Tuesday (11.10 pm EST) from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, after multiple delays in the launch since February 27.

NASA's SPHEREx and PUNCH missions successfully launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, marking a significant step in space exploration. SPHEREx will map the entire sky in infrared light, studying galaxies and cosmic evolution,

NASA successfully launched two major space missions together on a single rocket!The first is SPHEREx, a space telescope designed to search for essential life-forming elements in the Milky Way. While,

NASA’s newest space telescope rocketed into orbit Tuesday to map the entire sky like never before — a sweeping look at hundreds of millions of galaxies and their shared cosmic glow since the beginning of time.
