Sounding Rocket Launch in Australia

The Suborbital Imaging Spectrograph for Transition region Irradiance from Nearby Exoplanet host stars, or SISTINE, mission launched aboard a NASA sounding rocket from the Arnhem Space Center in Northern Australia on July 6, 2022, at 9:47 a.m. EDT (11:17 p.m. ACST). The mission helped astronomers understand how starlight influences a planet’s atmosphere, possibly making or breaking its ability to support life as we know it.
