First GLOWS Switch-on Successful

The IMAP mission is now en route to its target orbit around the Lagrange point L1. Following the successful launch and separation from the rocket, the individual instruments are being systematically switched on.

On Wednesday, October 1st, in the evening Polish time, GLOWS was successfully switched on. Tests confirmed the correctness of two-way communication and that our instrument is doing great! This is another important step taken on the path to the extraordinary science that will be made possible by the GLOWS photometer.”
