Interstellar Boundary Explorer Mission

Music:
Shempi by Ratatat off the album "LP3"

Lightly edited NASA material.
Sorry for the quality, it's all I had to work with...

The first NASA spacecraft to image and map the dynamic interactions taking place where the hot solar wind slams into the cold expanse of space was launched Oct. 19. The two-year mission will begin from the Kwajalein Atoll, a part of the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean.

The IBEX spacecraft will conduct extremely high-altitude orbits above Earth to investigate and capture images of processes taking place at the farthest reaches of the solar system. Known as the interstellar boundary, this region marks where the solar system meets interstellar space.
