66% Informative
PUNCH is a constellation of four suitcase-sized satellites that are set to blast off for a sun-synchronous low polar orbit on March 2 .
One of the PUNCH satellites possess a narrow-field imager armed with a coronagraph.
The other three satellites each have wide-field imagers that can watch as the corona forms the solar wind, and then track that detected solar wind.
PUNCH will also team up with IMAP , the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe .
IMAP will study the solar wind as it journeys to the outer boundary of the heliosphere, called the heliopause, located about 120 astronomical units ( 17.95 billion kilometers , or 11.15 billion miles ) from the sun.
