GLOWS has launched!
24 October 2025
On Wednesday, September 24, 2025, at 1:30 PM Polish time (CEST), a Falcon 9 rocket launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The rocket carried three experiments: IMAP (Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe), the Carruthers Geocorona Observatory, and NOAA’s SWFO-L1 (Space Weather Follow On-Lagrange 1).
Members of our scientific and engineering team observed the launch on-site. GLOWS has just begun its journey to the L1 Lagrange point, which it is expected to reach in early January 2026.
Videos and photos of the launch are available from NASA. We encourage you to view them, as the rocket launch at sunrise was very picturesque.
Go GLOWS! Go IMAP!
