So what's all this about a #Rocket #launch you say?
We're designing the Solar eruptioN Integral Field Spectrograph instrument (aka #SNIFSrocket). This is a telescope and UV spectrograph which will launch next March from #PokerFlatResearchRange just north of #Fairbanks #Alaska.
We're not working on the engines or anything. We're building the payload, which is 17 inches diameter and about 6 ft long. It'll be plugged onto a nosecone and engines from #NASA.
