On Tuesday, February 4, at 2 p.m., NASA will hold a Media telephone conference to exchange information about the upcoming punch of the agency (polarimeter for the standardization of the Corona and HELIOSPHERE), which is aimed at earlier than Thursday February 27th.
The agency's punch mission is a constellation of four small satellites. When you arrive in the low -focus, the satellites will make global 3D observations of the external atmosphere of the sun, the corona, and help NASA learn how the mass and energy there become solar wind. Through the imaging of the sun of the sun and the sun wind, the scientists hope to better understand the entire inner heliosphle – sun, sun wind and earth – as a single connected system.
The audio of the teleconference is on the agency's website at:
The participants include:
- Madhulika Guhahakurta, NASA program scientist, NASA headquarters
- Nicholeen Viall, Punch mission scientist, Goddard Space Flight Center of NASA
- Craig Deforest, Punch Principal Investigator, Southwest Research Institute
In order to take part in the Media Teleconference, the media must be RSVP RSVP on February 4 at the latest: Abbey Interrante at: abbey.interrante@nasa.gov. The NASA media accreditation guideline is available online.
The punch mission will share a ride with the Spherex-Spherex-Spherex-Spherex-Spherex area from NASA, the space telescope for the history of the universe, the era of repetition and the ICES explorer).
The Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado, leads the Punch mission. The Mission is managed by the Explorers Program Office in the Goddard Space Flight Center of NASA in Greenbelt, Maryland, for the management of NASA's science mission in Washington.
