StarBurst Multimessenger Pioneer Gamma-ray Observatory
NASA’s StarBurst Multimessenger Pioneer is a planned SmallSat gamma-ray observatory for a targeted 2027 low-Earth-orbit launch. Its wide-field detector will identify short gamma-ray bursts from neutron-star mergers and provide electromagnetic counterparts for gravitational-wave observatories during a nominal one-year mission.
