NASA’s Lunar Discovery and Exploration Program decided to accommodate the additional cost of launching Lunar Trailblazer on IM-2 rather than keeping it on IMAP.
Lunar Trailblazer is scheduled for completion late 2022 but will not launch until early 2025 because of delays in the primary payload of its rideshare mission, the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP).
Lunar Trailblazer was scheduled to be ready for launch in late 2022 but is planned to fly in early 2025 as part of a NASA rideshare mission whose primary payload is the IMAP space science spacecraft.
Lunar Trailblazer will not launch until at least February 2025 because it is flying as a rideshare payload on the Falcon 9 launch of the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP).
The SWFO mission is scheduled to launch in 2025 as a rideshare with NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP).
Solar Cruiser will launch as one of four missions with NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) currently scheduled in 2025.
The Space Weather Follow On-Lagrange 1 observatory is scheduled to launch in 2025 on NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP).
Among Falcon 9 launches, SPHEREx is among the most expensive at $98.8 million, with only IMAP more expensive at $109,400,000.
IMAP will operate at the Sun–Earth L1 Lagrange point, approximately 1.5 million kilometers from Earth toward the Sun.
IMAP was selected by NASA for development in 2018 as part of the Solar Terrestrial Probes program.
IMAP is targeted to launch in October 2024 on a Falcon 9 Full Thrust rocket from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
NASA will launch IMAP and the secondary payloads for a total cost of approximately $109.4 million, which includes the launch service and other mission-related costs.
NASA awarded a $109,400,000 contract to SpaceX for the launch of the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) spacecraft in 2024 from Cape Canaveral on a Falcon 9.
NASA identified the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) as a likely host for rideshare payloads and scheduled IMAP to launch in October 2024.
The SWFO-L1 satellite is scheduled to launch in 2024 alongside NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP).
In 2024, NASA plans to send the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) to Lagrange Point 1 to study particles and radiation streaming from the sun toward Earth.
SWFO is a small satellite scheduled to launch in 2024 as a secondary payload on NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP).
Mission advocates believe NEOCam could take advantage of a cost-saving co-manifested launch with NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) in 2024.
NASA plans to invest up to $65,000,000 in smallsat technology demonstration missions that would fly alongside the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP).
The Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) is scheduled to launch in 2024 to the Earth–Sun L1 Lagrange point.
