SunRISE

Sun Radio Interferometer Space Experiment

Future Mission

SunRISE is an array of six toaster-size CubeSats that will work together to study solar activity, observing low radio frequency emissions so scientists can understand better how the Sun is able to generate intense space weather storms — known as solar particle storms — that can be hazardous to spacecraft and astronauts.

Type

CubeSats

Launch

To Be Announced

Expected Duration

12 months

Objective

Examine how the Sun releases particles into space
