The Compact Dual Ion Composition Experiment (CoDICE) instrument of NASA’s IMAP (Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe) observatory is ready for inspection inside the high bay at the Astrotech Space Operations Facility near the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Tuesday, June 17, 2025. CoDICE will measure solar wind particles flowing from the Sun and pickup ions that entered the heliosphere from outside the solar system, as well as the direction of travel, and types of specific species of pickup ions.
