초록

The Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) plans to develop a coronagraph in collaboration with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), to be installed on the International Space Station (ISS). It uses multiple filters to obtain simultaneous measurements of electron density, temperature, and velocity within a single instrument. The primary science goal is to understand the physical conditions in the solar wind acceleration region, and the secondary goal is to enable and validate the next generation of space weather science models. The planned launch in 2022 provides great potential for synergy with other solar space missions such as Solar Orbiter and Parker Solar Probe.
