The Sun Radio Interferometer Space Experiment (SunRISE), is a set of CubeSats designed to study solar activity by acting as an aperture synthesis radio telescope. It is intended to monitor giant solar particle storms.
The satellites will occupy a supersynchronous geosynchronous Earth orbit.
The participants in the experiment include JPL, the University of Colorado Boulder and the University of Michigan. It is due to be launched in 2024.
Status
As of November 2023, the six satellites have been built and are going into storage to await their Vulcan Centaur launch vehicle.
