On March 23, 2011, LASP launched a sounding rocket intended to calibrate the Extreme ultraviolet Variability Experiment (EVE) on the NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). The rocket carries an almost exact replica of the satellite version SDO EVE instrument, which will help to determine any long-term degradation of the EVE optical system and will enable EVE to obtain the most accurate measurements possible of solar irradiance. Launched from White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) in New Mexico, NASA Rocket 36.275 provided the second underflight calibration for EVE, which entered into geosynchronous orbit Feb. 11, 2010. Calibration flights for instruments such as EVE occur about once a year. (Courtesy Tom Woods/LASP)
