VSFB SLC-4E Launches NASA's TRACERS Mission July 29, 2025
July 23, 2025 - Two NASA Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites (TRACERS) launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base (VSFB). The NASA’s TRACERS mission involves two satellites in low Earth orbit to study magnetic reconnection. These satellites will pass through the polar cusps regions, where solar particles funnel into the atmosphere, to gather data on how magnetic field lines break and reconnect, a key process in space weather.
