We are less than 15 days away from launching SPHEREx, a mission that will observe hundreds of millions of stars and galaxies in infrared light, a range of wavelengths not visible to the human eye. Tune in as we speak with experts from the mission, both at Vandenberg Space Force Base and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, and see the space observatory up close and speak with experts...
Go behind the scenes with the team working on NASA’s SPHEREx space telescope as they talk through their rigorous testing process.
In this timelapse movie, scientists and engineers can be seen at Caltech preparing NASA’s SPHEREx space telescope for tests inside a vacuum chamber provided by KASI. The process took more than two weeks and involved more than 20 people.
SPHEREx space telescope will map the entire sky.
SPHEREx will map millions of galaxies across the universe while operating in earth orbit.
The SPHEREx team has developed advanced software to plan observations while keeping the telescope safely pointed away from the heat and stray light of the sun, moon, and earth.
Linear-Variable Filter technology enables SPHEREx to collect images of the entire sky in 102 colors.
After 25 months of science operations, SPHEREx will image the entire sky four times in over 100 near-infrared colors.
