CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At Port Canaveral in Florida, the Atlas V first stage booster for NASA’s Radiation Belt Storm Probes mission is attached to a truck for offloading from United Launch Alliance’s Delta Mariner barge. The Radiation Belt Storm Probes, or RBSP, mission will help us understand the sun’s influence on Earth and near-Earth space by studying the Earth’s radiation belts on various scales of space and time.
