We will let you know when there is a new launch date.
. . .Editor's Note, Aug. 27, 2023: The XRISM launch scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 27 (Monday, Aug. 28, in Japan) has been postponed. The new launch date and time will be announced once confirmed.
A powerful satellite called XRISM (X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission) is set to provide astronomers with a revolutionary look at the X-ray sky. . . .
XRISM, led by JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) in collaboration with NASA and with contributions from ESA (European Space Agency), was scheduled to launch on an H-IIA rocket from Japan’s Tanegashima Space Center [last night, US time]. . . .
“Some of the things we hope to study with XRISM include the aftermath of stellar explosions and near-light-speed particle jets launched by supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies,” said Richard Kelley, NASA’s XRISM principal investigator at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. “But of course, we’re most excited about all the unexpected phenomena XRISM will discover as it observes our cosmos. . . .”
Now you know. Onward, grinning -- into the afternoon sunshine. Be excellent to one another.
