The Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP) Mission represents NASA's most comprehensive look at the Earth's Radiation Belt to date. Using identical probes in slightly different orbits, the RBSP Mission will give scientists an unprecedented look into the complex and hostile environment of our Radiation Belt. Most space craft turn off their instruments while passing through the Radiation Belt, but RSBP A & B will operate inside the "Belt" 24-7 throughout the life of the mission.

NASA has awarded United Launch Alliance (ULA) four science and communications missions set to launch in the first half of the next decade. All four missions will fly aboard ULA's Atlas V rocket and are scheduled to launch between 2011-2014. The four launches are the Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP), two Tracking and Data Relay Satellites (TDRS-K and TDRS-L) and the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission.
The launches will be provided under terms of a launch service agreement procured previously by NASA's Kennedy Space Center for this vehicle. The liftoffs will all occur from Space Launch Complex-41, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Centre, Greenbelt, Md., will manage all four missions.
