Q. CubeSat Radio Interferometry Experiment (CURIE) mission, recently seen in news, launched by which space agency?
Answer:
NASA
Notes: NASA's CubeSat Radio Interferometry Experiment (CURIE) launched on July 9, 2024, aboard an ESA Ariane 6 rocket to study solar radio waves. CURIE, comprising two shoebox-sized spacecraft, will investigate the origins of radio waves from solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Using low-frequency radio interferometry, CURIE will orbit 360 miles above Earth, measuring radio waves between 0.1 to 19 megahertz, frequencies blocked by Earth's atmosphere. This mission, part of NASA's H-FORT Program, aims to enhance our understanding of solar phenomena and advance space-based radio astronomy.
