Description

Interstellar Boundary Explorer, IBEX, Spacecraft Ephemeris: The NASA Interstellar Boundary Explorer, IBEX, spacecraft was launched on October 19, 2008 to discover the interaction between the solar wind and the interstellar medium. Its two energetic neutral atom, ENA, instruments measure 10 eV to 6 keV ENAs indicative of charged particle populations near and beyond the heliospheric termination shock. The spacecraft is in a geocentric, 8-day orbit between 7000 km and 37 Re. Its spin axis is adjusted each orbit to point towards the sun. Its two ENA detectors look normal to the spin axis, thus measuring 360° swaths of the sky each 15 s spacecraft spin. The full sky is measured every 6 months.
