Cosmic Radio

Join me as we speak with Jet Propulsion Engineer Eric Rice. Eric is the Mission Operations Manager (MOM) on NASA's SPHEREx Mission. SPHEREx stands for:
Spectro-Photometer for  the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization and Ices Explorer
That's a mouth-full!
SPHEREx is an infrared space telescope that will collect data on more than 450 million galaxies along with more than 100 million stars in the Milky Way in order to explore the origins of the Universe.

Eric explains how this unique space telescope works and how it was built.
