Dec. 24, 2022 Season's Greetings	Nov. 1, 2022 SOLAR-C Pre-Project Team launched in JAXA	Apr. 25, 2022 SUNRISE-3/SCIP website open (in Japanese)	Apr. 6, 2022 15 years of Hinode

We are conducting basic experiments and developing new technologies to establish
a new solar-observing satellite to follow the HINODE (SOLAR-B).
The main scientific goals of the SOLAR-C project are to understand

Formations of the high-temperature corona and solar wind, and
Physical process of the solar flare.

These are required

Measurement of magnetic fields in the solar chromosphere, and
High spatial and temporal resolution spectrometry to observe the motion and temperature of plasma in the solar chromosphare and corona.

We are proposing a small satellite, SOLAR-C, to do these things. We are also planning to launch
a medium-sized satellite in the 2030s or later, taking over the technology we have developed.

Next-generation Solar-observing Satellite
SOLAR-C

SOLAR-C will take spectrometric observations of the solar atmosphere from the chromosphere to the corona in extreme ultraviolet light. We aim at its launch in the mid-2020s.
