FURST reflight is a GO! 🚀☀️✨
FURST launched on Sept 3, 2024, at 13:21 MDT from White Sands Missile Range. While a severe stray light issue rendered the data unusable, the problem is now well understood. We've charted a path forward and submitted a reflight proposal. Go #FURST! 🚀☀️✨ #sunscience #solarphysics #heliophysics #rocket
