Imaging Microburst Precipitation with Atmospheric X-ray emissions (IMPAX) CubeSat Mission

The Imaging Microburst Precipitation with Atmospheric X-ray emissions (IMPAX) CubeSat was recently selected by NASA’s H-FORT program, with a planned launch date of late 2027. The overarching goal of IMPAX is to quantify relativistic electron microburst precipitation as a radiation belt loss mechanism.
