The Cosmic Infrared Background ExpeRiment (CIBER) was a payload flown aboard Black Brant XIIsounding rockets to collect data about cosmic infrared background. In 2014 results from CIBER indicated an excess of infrared light, beyond what is emitted by galaxies.[1]
A NASA Black Brant XII suborbital rocket following its launch on June 5, 2013 from the Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia carrying the Cosmic Infrared Background ExpeRiment (CIBER) to an altitude of approximately 358 miles above the Atlantic Ocean.
After the conclusion of the CIBER mission, the research into cosmic infrared background is being (as of 2021) pursued by a follow-on mission, CIBER-2. CIBER-2 is a successor to CIBER using similar techniques (with improvements, naturally) and also launching into suborbital space aboard a sounding rocket.[2] CIBER-2 was launched on 7 June 2021 aboard a Black Brant IX rocket. A second flight of CIBER-2 is scheduled for 16 April 2023.[3]
