Dimensions of IPAC: SPHEREx Video

Dimensions of IPAC explores the wide spectrum of activities happening at IPAC, and here we highlight IPAC's role in the SPHEREx mission.

SPHEREx is an all-sky spectroscopic survey mission conducting 4 all-sky surveys over 2 years, providing the first near-infrared all-sky spectral survey for the astronomical community with a data pipeline operated at IPAC and a data archive hosted by the NASA IPAC Infrared Science Archive (IRSA).

SPHEREx will also have strong scientific synergies with other missions and observatories, resulting in a rich legacy archive of spectra that will bear on numerous scientific investigations. Launch is targeted for the end of February 2025.
