SPHEREx (Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization, and Ices Explorer) [3] is a future near-infrared space observatory that will perform an all-sky survey to measure the near-infrared spectra of approximately 450 million galaxies.
For launch in the 2030s, NASA is evaluating four possible designs: the Origins Space Telescope, Lynx X-ray Observatory, Habitable Exoplanets Observatory (HabEx), and Large UV Optical Infrared Surveyor . [38] Balloon-borne telescopes have been in use since the 1950s. A 20–30 meter balloon telescope has been suggested. [39]
Ten degrees from the Sun, the K-corona is 1000x fainter than the background stars, [11] requiring precise photometric calibration across the individual cameras, to measure and remove the background starfield, galaxy, and related features—which constitute 99.9% of the light incident on the cameras. The camera images are co-aligned to within 0. ...

Had it been selected for implementation, FINESSE would have launched no earlier than 2022 and lasted at least two years. The other two finalist concepts competing with FINESSE were Arcus (an X-ray space observatory) and SPHEREx (a near-infrared space observatory). In February 2019, it was announced that SPHEREx had been selected. [5]
A star forms by accumulation of material that falls in to a protostar from a circumstellar disk or envelope. Material in the disk is cooler than the surface of the protostar, so it radiates at longer wavelengths of light producing excess infrared emission. As material in the disk is depleted, the infrared excess decreases.
The mission targets stars with a range of ages and activity levels, and places an emphasis on stars with known exoplanets. 2) A deep monitoring survey (~2 weeks per star) of 24 targets-of-interest to measure the stellar flare frequency distribution and constrain the coronal mass ejection (CME) rate and high-energy particle fluence from these ...
Starshade with space observatory during deployment Video demonstration of the starshade Starshade occulter test, 2014. The New Worlds Mission is a proposed project comprising a large occulter flying in formation with a space telescope designed to block the light of nearby stars in order to observe their orbiting exoplanets.
