Black Brant IX | DEUCE

Magellan Aerospace Corporation | Canada
Arnhem Space Centre
July 11, 2022, 11:01 a.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:

The Dual-channel Extreme Ultraviolet Continuum Experiment (DEUCE) is a payload from the University of Colorado. its objective is to observe α Centauri A & B and measure a so-far unstudied part of their extreme ultraviolet light spectrum. These measurements are needed to model stars similar to and smaller than our Sun, as well as understand their effects on planetary atmospheres.

Black Brant IX | SISTINE

Magellan Aerospace Corporation | Canada
Arnhem Space Centre
July 6, 2022, 1:54 p.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:

The Suborbital Imaging Spectrograph for Transition region Irradiance from Nearby Exoplanet host stars (SISTINE) is a payload from the University of Colorado. Its objective is to study how light from stars affects the atmospheres of the planets around them, including the gases thought to be signs of life. For this flight, it will measure the ultraviolet light output from α Centauri A and B, two stars of the three-star α Centauri system that are the closest stars to our Sun.

LauncherOne | Straight Up

Virgin Orbit | United States of America
Air launch to orbit
July 2, 2022, 6:53 a.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:

Launch contracted by the U.S. Space Force for the Rocket Systems Launch Program (RSLP), with payloads provided by the DoD Space Test Program (STP) as part of the Space Force’s STP-28A mission. It will carry seven satellites from multiple government agencies that are experiments intended to demonstrate novel modular satellite bus, space domain awareness, and adaptive radio frequency technologies. The target orbit is approximately 500 km above the Earth’s surface at 45 degrees inclination.
