NASA's Kennedy Space Center is preparing for a significant launch event on September 23, where three missions - IMAP, SWFO-L1, and Carruthers - will launch together aboard a SpaceX Falcon [--] from Launch Complex 39A. The missions aim to improve our understanding of space weather and its impact on Earth. Additionally, NASA has selected six companies to study lower-cost ways to deliver spacecraft to difficult-to-reach orbits.

NASA's Kennedy Space Center is preparing for a significant launch event on September 23, where three missions - IMAP, SWFO-L1, and Carruthers - will launch together aboard a SpaceX Falcon [--] from Launch Complex 39A. The missions aim to improve our understanding of space weather and its impact on Earth. Additionally, NASA has selected six companies to study lower-cost ways to deliver spacecraft to difficult-to-reach orbits.
