NASA's 2025 IMAP Mission: Charting Our Cosmic Neighborhood

NASA is set to launch the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) in September 2025. This ground-breaking mission aims to study the heliosphere, solar wind, energetic particles, and cosmic rays from Lagrange point 1. The mission includes two rideshare missions with Carruthers Geocorona Observatory and NOAA's Space Weather Follow On – Lagrange 1. Originally scheduled for an earlier launch, the mission was rescheduled to allow more time for flight system preparation.
