Planned Sun-observing satellite
SOLAR-C
(official name "
High-sensitivity Solar Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Satellite
"
[1]
) is a planned
Sun-observing satellite
being developed by the
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency
(JAXA), the
National Astronomical Observatory of Japan
(NAOJ), and international collaborators. It will be the follow-up to the
Hinode
(SOLAR-B) and
Yohkoh
(SOLAR-A) missions and will carry the EUV High-throughput Spectroscopic Telescope (
EUVST
[
ja
]
) and the Solar Spectral Irradiance Monitor (SoSpIM).

Objectives
[
edit

The mission aims to study the sun, its effects on
Earth
and the
Solar System
, and the mechanisms behind hot plasma formation. The satellite will also analyse the Sun's UV radiation spectrum.
