SpaceX has been selected to launch NASA's StarBurst satellite aboard a Falcon 9 rideshare mission, according to an announcement from NASA Kennedy Space Center. The small satellite is designed to scan the sky for short gamma-ray bursts originating from merging neutron stars, capturing the earliest high-energy signals from these cosmic events.
The mission is targeted to launch from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station no earlier than 2028. StarBurst will study neutron stars and gamma-ray bursts as part of NASA's broader astrophysics research agenda.
