The Sun Radio Interferometer Space Experiment (SunRISE) is an array of 6 CubeSats that will form a space-based radio interferometer to observe decametric-hectometric Type II and Type III solar radio bursts to study particle acceleration and transport in the inner heliosphere.  This mission is set to launch no earlier than September 2025, and will enter a geocentric geosynchronous graveyard orbit to observe radio signals between 0.1 and 25 MHz.  We update on the science goals of the mission and the mission status.
