Four small suitcase-sized spacecraft, designed and built by Southwest Research Institute, have arrived at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, a final Earth-side pit stop before launching into polar orbit. The PUNCH satellites are sharing a ride to space with NASA’s SPHEREx mission, with a launch targeted for the end of February.
