Dr. Phil Korngut, NASA instrument scientist with SPHEREx, has more on the two separate missions that are on the same rocket and talks about what it means and what it will teach us.

If all goes to plan, two NASA missions called "SPHEREx" and "PUNCH" will be sharing a ride to space very soon.

NASA is set to complete two missions with one rocket and one shared goal. SHPEREx and PUNCH will launch together from Vandenberg, California.

SPHEREx, PUNCH Missions To Bring Universe, Sun Down To Earth is published in Aerospace Daily & Defense Report, an Aviation Week Intelligence Network (AWIN) Market Briefing and is included with your AWIN membership.

NASA and SpaceX are gearing up for an exciting double launch, sending the SPHEREx and PUNCH missions into space. SPHEREx will peer into the universe’s origins, shedding light on the first moments after the Big Bang and searching for life’s fundamental building blocks.
