Two NASA missions will take a roadtrip together to orbit in April 2025, the agency announced.

The dual launch will take place from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

Related: NASA will launch a new space telescope in 2023 to investigate the universe.

The mission will join SPHEREx (short for Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization, and Ices Explorer), which is also seeing its launch date pushed back from an initial June 2024 target.

The mission of SPHEREx will not only be to map 300 million galaxies in the universe and 100 million stars of the Milky Way galaxy, but also to hunt for signs of water and organic (life-friendly) molecules.

The aim in examining the corona is to better predict space weather, or solar activity that can affect Earthlings and the satellites nearby our planet.
