This Friday night / Saturday morning (0124 UTC), the Radio Aurora Explorer (RAX) CubeSat will launch from Kodiak, Alaska onboard a Minotaur IV rocket. RAX was built by the University of Michigan and SRI International to complete a new space weather mission to characterize certain effects that disturb our atmosphere
and cause the northern lights.
It will be the first student-built satellite from the University of Michigan, and the
first National Science Foundation sponsored CubeSat.
